An award-winning production is set to return to Glasgow next spring.

Matthew Bourne's Cinderella will be at the Theatre Royal from April 13 to 17, 2027.

The beloved New Adventures production is set to celebrate its 30th anniversary, with casting for the tour expected to be announced soon.

Set in London during the Second World War, the production tells a love story between Cinderella and an RAF pilot during the horrors of the Blitz.



With designs by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Neil Austin, and video and projection designs by Duncan McLean, the show is known for its impressive visual elements, bringing audiences into the atmosphere of wartime London.

The sound design, by Paul Groothuis, is set to Prokofiev's score.

Cinderella is described as "both a tribute and a testament to the spirit of Londoners during the war", showcasing Bourne's evocative storytelling.
