Although a fairly frequent theatre goer, I was excited for my first experience of the fabulous Hope Mill Theatre. I went there to watch the UK theatrical premier of the Broadway version of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella.
The super-talented team originally planned to produce and share the production back in 2020, but obviously with a pandemic taking over, the stage show has sat on the back burner ever since.
Fast forward to November 2022 and I joined an excited, packed crowd for the rescheduled Cinderella press night. It was a couple of weeks later than originally planned after the leading lady Grace Mouat became injured earlier this month. However, I’m pleased to report that the old-fashioned saying ‘good things come to those who wait’ has never rung more true.
