Look behind you – it’s Cinderella in UCH Limerick

THIS December, Twink and Dustin will be reunited on stage as they star in the greatest pantomime of them all Cinderella at University Concert Hall, Limerick.

They will be joined by a glittering cast including Voice of Ireland runner-up Celebrity Bainisteoir Richie Hayes as Buttons, Leanne Moore as Cinderella, Fair City’s Mondo, George McMahon, as the handsome Prince with local Limerick duo, Myles Breen and Richard Lynch, as the hilarious ugly sisters.

Opening on December 21, the production runs for 16 days and features Adéle King as fairy godmother and Dustin the Turkey plays a key role in this year’s panto as the debt collector.

Having spent over 30 years in Irish Panto, Adéle King said she is delighted to be returning to pantomime, which she described as “probably the most important form of live entertainment”.

“For most people, it is their first experience of theatre, one which we hope will keep them hooked for life. Limerick audiences have always been amongst my most supportive as far back as my days in Maxi, Dick and Twink, so the opportunity to bring the first professional pantomime to University Concert Hall Limerick is an absolute thrill for me. It took the really great offer of working with my favourite producer in a large-scale show with West End production values, in what has become one of my favourite venues to visit on tour, to tempt me back, when I had said so often,

Produced by Robert C Kelly (Fame, Menopause The Musical, Girls Night) and UCH this high quality traditional family panto will be filled with song, dance, laughter, glitz and glamour.

Cinderella opens on Friday, December 21, with matinees and evening performances running until Sunday, January 6. For more information and booking details contact UCH box office on 061 331549 or visit www.uch.ie.
