Matthew Bourne's Cinderella – a thrilling and evocative love story set in London during the Second World War which forms part of the company's 30th anniversary celebrations.

Matthew Bourne's interpretation of the classic fairy tale, has, at its heart, a true war-time romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.

Wonderful performance with the most amazing Set. The backdrop was fantastic and visually it was a joy to watch. Fantastic seats too and good price. Would definitely go again to Sadlers Wells and love Matthew Bourne productions.

Caroline Nevill

Wonderful. I always enjoy Matthew Bourne's productions and know I'm in for a treat when I book tickets. Hope there will be another to enjoy!

Mrs Valerie Hodgson

Wonderful visual and musical spectacle as expected from Matthew Bourne. However I felt it didn't quite have the edge of the Red Shoes. Partly our fault we didn't buy a programme - maybe this would have helped here as we were a bit confused by the story line at times.

Amazing, loved it. Had a wonderful evening

Chris Roberts

We love Matthew Bourne and try to see all his shows whenever they appear in London. Cinderella was a particularly good one and really benefited from the move to the 2nd world war. The stage sets were clever and believable and there were no weak links in the dance troupe. All helped along by an orchestral soundtrack which was beautifully recorded and executed. It would be very difficult to find any faults in such a wonderful performance.

Love every bits of it! My only problem was I booked the tickets late and didn't manage to get decent seats. Regardless, I still enjoyed the show.

i have never been to a ballet before, WOW. it was a brilliant adaption of the classic story. the setting was so powerful and the cast made the experience compelling. i would highly recommend

Good but not standing ovation great - fun, with feel of pantomime but there’s something about long dresses and dancing in shoes that makes it feel more like ballroom dancing than ballet...

An enthralling performance with beguiling character performances and dazzling dancers. The angel on stage last evening was breathtaking and I couldn’t keep my eyes off him.

Rebecca Michael

I was disappointed there was not a live orchestra

Rob

An interesting and exciting show. Music score improved after the first act. Music just a little too loud for my liking.
