Meet the Cinderella cast at Light Switch On!

With just two weeks until Cinderella opens at the Hazlitt Theatre, be the first to meet the cast at the Maidstone Festive Light Switch On! Join One Maidstone, KMFM and the cast of Cinderella in Jubilee Square from 4pm on Thursday, 21 November to see the town’s official Festive Light Switch On. A completely free event brought to you by One Maidstone BID alongside media partners KMFM!

“We are delighted to bring back this beloved community event,” said Michelle Woodland, CEO of One Maidstone BID. “The Festive Lights Switch On is a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to come together and celebrate the start of the festive season in the heart of Maidstone.”

Meet Hayley Johnston as Cinderella alongside the rest of the talented cast, including returning family favourites: David Zachary as Buttons, Stuart Ash as Dandini and Joe Meloy as Donna. The Hazlitt Theatre also welcomes some new faces: Christopher Chandler as Baron Hardup, Adam Borzone as Bella, Sarah Rose Denton as the Fairy Godmother, and Alexandre Blin as Prince Charming! Between them, the award-winning Cinderella cast have performed all over the world – from London’s West End to America, and all the way to South Korea! Their extensive credits include stage, TV and film, such as work for BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, Venice Film Festival debut Hoard (2023) and BAFTA award-winning short Roughhouse.

Get a sneak peak of the Cinderella cast in action at the Festive Light Switch On, as they perform a song and answer questions about the Hazlitt Theatre’s highly anticipated festive pantomime. Opening on 30 November, Cinderella is set to be another smash-hit pantomime with something for all the family – roaring comedy, smash-hit songs, and a whirl-wind romance.
