The Riverfront is delighted to announce that panto favourites Richard Elis and Gareth Tempest will reunite this Christmas as the hilariously horrible Ugly Sisters in Cinderella.
With just six months to go until the clock strikes midnight, the much-loved duo are set to bring chaos, comedy and outrageous glamour to The Riverfront stage in what promises to be another spectacular festive pantomime season.
Known for their electric chemistry, quick-fire comedy and unforgettable performances, Richard and Gareth are guaranteed to have audiences laughing from start to finish as Cinderella’s larger-than-life stepsisters.
This year’s production of Cinderella will run from 27 November to 31 December 2026, and with more than 50% of tickets already sold, audiences are being encouraged to book early to avoid missing out on the magical family favourite.
In this sparkling pantomime adventure, Cinderella dreams of a brighter life far from the clutches of her outrageous stepsisters.
With the help of her best friend Buttons, a glittering Fairy Godmother and an ensemble of lovable characters, her wishes come true - complete with a stunning gown, a magical transformation, and an unforgettable royal ball. But when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella must race against time to find her happily-ever-after.
Packed with dazzling costumes, spectacular scenery, cheeky villains and heaps of audience participation, Cinderella delivers all the magic audiences expect from The Riverfront’s pantomime - the perfect festive family treat and the fairy godmother of all pantos.
