You'll have a ball!

A Rose Theatre Production

By Chris Bush and Roni Neale
Music by Matt Winkworth

When 16-year-old Ella finds herself spending Christmas at dad’s house, she wishes she could be anywhere else. She’s expected to help out and forced to spend family time with her new stepmum. Worse still, her bedroom has been turned into a nursery for the noisiest, smelliest twin stepsisters you’ve ever seen.

Wishes are answered and Ella is whisked away to a magical world of castles, balls, and handsome princes. Yet it soon becomes clear that all is not quite as it seems. And, perhaps this isn’t the happily-ever-after ending Ella thought it would be?

From Olivier Award winner Chris Bush (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) and Roni Neale, with new songs by Matt Winkworth, this funny, fantastical retelling of the classic fairytale highlights the importance of family, wherever we may find it. Featuring members of our celebrated Rose Youth Theatre alongside a professional cast, join us for our Christmas tradition in this mischievous new adventure about being careful what you wish for.
