Cinderella: Buttons Undone!

Now established as something like London’s flagship gay panto – it’s certainly the biggest – Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper’s annual innuendo-fest returns to Charing Cross Theatre for the festive season. In some ways all you need to know is ‘X-rated Cinderella’ but if you’re interested in the plot, this iteration is set in the seaside resort of Lob-on-Sea, where tennis champion Ivan Yassandvich – famed for his massive balls – will pick a bride, be that hotel maid Cindy, her horrible stepsister-slash-boss Mercedes… and quite possibly Cindy’s gay BFF Buttons. Andrew Beckett directs, Matthew Baldwin dames.
