The Pasadena Playhouse Presents Lythgoe Family Panto's A CINDERELLA CHRISTMAS

Panto at The Playhouse, now in its fifth year, has become a "must-do" holiday tradition for Southern California residents. A CINDERELLA CHRISTMAS is the latest Holiday Spectacular presented by The Pasadena Playhouse and Lythgoe Family Panto in the style of the traditional British Panto. A Panto is interactive holiday fun for all ages, and the timeless tale of Cinderella will feature comedy, magic, dancers from "So You Think You Can Dance" and contemporary music from Taylor Swift to The Bee Gees. Panto at The Playhouse productions have featured luminaries from the worlds of music, theatre and television, including Sabrina Carpenter, John O'Hurley, Ariana Grande, Ben Vereen, Olivia Holt and Lucy Lawless.

This year's phenomenal cast will star Disney Channel's Lauren Taylor of "Best Friends Whenever"as "Cinderella;" and Alex Newell, best known for his groundbreaking work on FOX's "Glee," will join the cast as "The Fairy Godperson." Ben Giroux and Josh Adamson will return to The Playhouse Mainstage as "The Evil Stepsisters" and newcomer Matthew Patrick Davis will play the role of "Buttons."
