This holiday season, Cinderella’s Wellies takes the stage at The Point, Eastleigh, running from Saturday 21 to Tuesday 31 December.
This delightful family show promises to be a festive treat for audiences of all ages.
What makes this production truly special is its fully local approach, showcasing the incredible talent of the local community. The creative team, professional actors, and community cast all hail from Hampshire and Wiltshire, bringing a sense of home and heart to the performance.
“This is not just a show – it’s a celebration of our community and a tribute to the spirit of Eastleigh,” says Charlotte Hall, the director of the production. “We’re excited to present a production that resonates with our residents, filled with familiar faces and creative talent from the area.”
The Fairy Godmother will be performed by Lucy Mellors, Cinderella by Lauren Somerville, the Prince by Paul Cassaro, and the Rat Sisters by Anna Harriott.
Lauren grew up just a stone’s throw from The Point in Fair Oak. Performing at a venue that’s part of her local community is especially meaningful to her.
“I’m very excited to be playing Cinderella,” she explains. “Such a classic story and hopefully with a fun twist in there. And to be playing it in my home venue is super exciting.”
Before attending drama school, Paul – who is based in Fareham – sung and danced in theatres in both Southampton and Portsmouth, and is delighted to be back performing in Hampshire.
“I’m looking forward to spending time with the cast and getting to know everyone,” he says.
Cinderella’s Wellies is not only a retelling of a beloved classic, but a time-traveling adventure with an 80s-inspired score, musical numbers, and puppetry. The production promises to be filled with laughter, joy, and holiday magic – making it the perfect outing for families looking to embrace the festive season together.
The Point invites everyone to experience this unique local performance and support talented creators. Whether you’re a long time resident or new to Eastleigh, this show is sure to become a cherished part of your holiday.
