Cinderella to kick off Christmas activities in Northern Ireland

9 October 2009 -

One of the most popular pantomimes of all will grace the stage of the Belfast Waterfront this Christmas.

Cinderella will enjoy a seven-week run over the festive period, with acclaimed actress Alana Kerr returning to the role which brought her nationwide acclaim in 2004-05.

The run will begin on November 26th and last until January 29th, with director Simon Magill saying there was only one person he wanted to be the main star in one of the most popular Christmas events in Northern Ireland's capital.

"Alana was made for the part - she's a fantastic stage actress who magically brings Cinderella to life … and she also has a stunning voice," he said.

Those looking for different events in Northern Ireland may wish to attend the Waterfront this Saturday (October 10th), when acclaimed comedian Al Murray brings his award-winning Pub Landlord routine to the venue for an evening of side-splitting humour.
