A revival of the popular Cookson\u2019s 2012 Bristol Old Vic production, kids will enjoy the subversive, dressing-up box aesthetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CINDERELLA AT THE LONDON PALLADIUM 14 December 2016 \u2013 15 January 2017 Cinderella is a family classic, the tale of rags-to-riches as Cinderella escapes her Wicked Stepmother and is helped by her loving Fairy Godmother.
