Producers are looking for someone aged 18-30, eligible to work in the UK, who embodies all of Cinderella’s characteristics, hard-working, lots of positive energy, kind-hearted and a true role model for all mini ‘Cinderella’ idols.

The lead will be a ‘triple threat’ and must be able to demonstrate singing, dancing and acting skills for multiple performances each week.

Writer of the show Samuel Holmes, said: “The creative team and I will be watching all these self-isolation videos, and once lockdown is over we will meet a handful of the lucky performers for a dance audition and then will announce to @BlackpoolPanto followers our special Cinderella.”

Michael Williams, managing director of the Winter Gardens added: “We know that these are challenging times for everyone and wanted to bring some weekly magic to look forward to with the bedtime stories.
