Cinderella enchants audiences at Walsall Arena
Published on
Cinderella, the classic rags-to-riches fairy tale cast its magic over audiences at Christmas, proving to be Walsall Arena & Arts Centre’s best-selling pantomime ever.
The only professional pantomime production in Walsall, it also featured up-and-coming talent from students through a partnership with Walsall College. The 2024 production will be announced very soon.
“ It just isn’t Christmas without a trip to a pantomime, and we are delighted that Cinderella was such a success. Many families are making it a tradition to attend the Arena’s production, returning year after year. The cast and Walsall Arena team have been blown away by the wonderful heart-felt comments from audiences. I would like to thank everyone who attended, as well as those who were involved in the show, including the production team, Walsall Arena staff, cast and crew.
“Walsall Arena have a fantastic year-round programme with live music across genres, comedy, theatre and more. It has something for everyone, so support your local venues and talent in 2024!
“
