It’s two hours of traditional slapstick panto family fun – and it’s running until **December 30** in a Brighton seafront hotel. ***Cinderella*** – produced by Hove’s **E3** – is playing to packed audiences at the **DoubleTree** **by Hilton Brighton Metropole**.

**Ellie Earl** plays the lead role with charm and confidence as she meets – and finally falls in love – with Prince Charming, alias Kane Matthews who shines throughout with his solo songs. **Liam Joseph** is a fun and loveable Dandini, while the Wicked Step Sisters – played by Brighton’s very own **Jason Sutton** and **Josh Hanson** – have a wonderful, comical connection.

There’s always room for a baddie in a panto and **BBC Radio Sussex** presenter **Allison Ferns** performs with passion from the outset as the crowd – old and young alike – love to boo her! Buttons – **Carl Lovejoy** – enjoys a great rapport with the audience while producer and director **David Hill** stars in the second half as Baron Hardup. **Sharon Starr** – another Brighton favourite – excels as the Fairy Godmother who ensures love finally wins in this traditional panto tale.

The first half is a full hour and while the second is shorter, with the tale ending after 25 minutes of the second half, there is fun and games after that with great renditions of *The 12 Days of Christmas* and, of course, *The Music Man*.

***Cinderella* runs at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole until December 30\. There is seating for 800 at each performance.**
