2025
We are delighted to announce London Children's Ballet's production for the 2024/2025 season, 'Ella’s Big Chance: A Jazz-Age Cinderella'.
This exciting new production of Cinderella is based on an original story by Shirley Hughes, with a new scenario by Ruth Brill, choreography by Kristen McNally, new score composed by Ian Stephens and new set and costume design by Carrie-Ann Stein. Shirley Hughes was a much-loved author illustrator, most famous for the ‘Alfie’ books and ‘Dogger’. We are excited to adapt this beautiful book into a ballet.
