About Cinderella

The clock is ticking, the pumpkins are growing, and the magic is building…

For the third consecutive year, NN Media (the home of Northants 1, Northants 2, and Northants Rewind) is proud to return as the Official Media Partner for the Lighthouse Theatre Pantomime.

We are delighted to team up with KD Theatre Productions once again to bring Kettering a show that promises to be the perfect fit for the whole family. Whether you tune in for the latest hits on Northants 1 or the golden throwbacks on Northants 2, Cinderella is the ultimate festive tradition that brings our community together.

The Story

Cinderella dreams of a more magical and exciting life far away from her Wicked Stepsisters. Luckily, she has her ever-faithful companion, Buttons, to brighten her days.

When the dashing Prince Charming decides to throw a grand ball to find his future wife, Cinderella sees her chance to turn her pumpkin of a life into a sparkling carriage ride to happiness! But she’ll need a wave of the Fairy Godmother’s wand—and a little help from the audience—to make it happen before midnight.

Meet The Stars

This year’s cast brings together West End talent and beloved local legends:

Sean ‘Rollo’ Rollason as Buttons: A true master of comedy! Recently inducted into the Pantomime Hall of Fame and a member of the prestigious Grand Order of Water Rats, Rollo brings decades of variety and circus experience to the stage. He’s ready to keep the community “tight-knit” with plenty of laughs.

Jessie Waterfield as The Fairy Godmother: A glorious homecoming! Kettering’s own Jessie returns to the Lighthouse (after playing the Queen of the Wolves last year) to sprinkle some magic on her hometown.

Maisie Asbury as Cinderella: Bringing strength, kindness, and incredible vocals to the title role.

Daniel Breakwell as Prince Charming: The dashing royal searching for his true love.

Dominic Mattos as The Ugly Sister: Proving that being “beautiful” is a state of mind (even if the mirror disagrees!).
