Cinderella – The Panto
Killarney Racecourse
This Christmas, follow a sprinkle of fairy dust to Killarney Racecourse, where the world’s favourite fairytale gets a magical Kerry makeover! Deep within Ross Castle, Cinderella dreams of a life beyond endless chores and the demands of her wicked stepmother. When Prince Harold announces a royal ball at Muckross House, Cinderella dares to dream that her moment has finally arrived. Enter Molls: a fairy godmother from beyond the Gap of Dunloe, with a wand, a mission and plenty of Kerry attitude!
As Killarney’s fairy lights flicker out, can Molls help Cinderella find the courage to follow her heart?
Expect sparkling transformations, soaring songs, dazzling dance numbers and laughter for every generation, with plenty of chances to cheer your heroes, boo the baddies and shout, “She’s behind you!”
Directed by Lily MacMonagle of The MACademy Performing Arts and choreographed by Katrina Galvin of Sparrow Dance Academy, featuring lots of local talent.
