Cinderella announced as Lyceum pantomime for 2026–2027 with an additional week of performances

Sheffield Theatres and Evolution Productions today announce next year’s spectacular Lyceum pantomime to be Cinderella – with more performances added due to demand, giving families across Sheffield and beyond an additional week of panto fun next Christmas. Bringing the magic and sparkle to Sheffield in 2026, Cinderella promises to be top-quality entertainment for all the family.

Damian Williams returns for his nineteenth year as Sheffield Theatres’ beloved, award winning Dame. He’s brought his ‘sister’ too (played by Matt Daines), with further casting to be announced soon.

Once again, the show will be written and directed by Paul Hendy (The Last Laugh, Aladdin) and produced by the award winning Evolution Productions, the same team behind smash-hit panto Snow White, winner of Best Pantomime 2024 at the UK Pantomime Awards.

As always, the Lyceum Panto promises to be top-quality entertainment packed with theatrical thrills, stunning costumes, lavish sets, fabulous music and hilarious laugh-out-loud jokes.

Cinderella plays at Lyceum Theatre Saturday 28 November 2026 – Sunday 3 January 2027. Tickets are available here.
