Michelle Heaton to star in live-action, immersive version of Cinderella at selected ODEON cinemas this Christmas

ODEON has teamed up with Curtis Productions to bring the much-loved pantomime Cinderella to the British public this Christmas. 

The festive favourite will be performed live at ODEON cinemas in Stoke, Manchester, Wimbledon and London’s Leicester Square and will feature “a blend of live action performances from the cast with scenic and interactive projections beamed onto ODEON’s cutting-edge screens to enhance the production and immerse audiences into the fairy tale.” 

Cinderella will run for three shows a day at ODEON Stoke (18 - 21 December), followed by ODEON Manchester Great Northern (22 - 24 December & 26 - 28 December), ODEON Wimbledon (29 December - 2 January), and will close in spectacular style at ODEON’s flagship venue, ODEON Luxe Leicester Square for four shows on 3 January. 

Michelle Heaton, loved by many for her time in Liberty X, will play the much-loved Fairy Godmother and is thrilled to be taking on the role. “It's been a difficult year for everyone, so to be able to play the Fairy Godmother to spread some magic will put a smile on my face - and hopefully the audiences too. Thanks to the measures in place at ODEON the show can go on in a safe and socially distant way that is still filled with fun!”

ODEON is encouraging viewers to don their favourite festive outfits (and their all-important facemasks) for the performances. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your Santa hats and Christmas jumpers and get your tickets here.
