************************* York Theatre Royal is delighted to announce that Cinderella has sold over an amazing 50,000 tickets, the equivalent of sixty performances being sold out! And there are still two weeks left for what the critics are hailing as the best pantomime in the region. Daniel Bates, Chief Executive of York Theatre Royal is delighted to announce the news. He said: "It’s been yet another wonderful year for the pantomime at the Theatre and the demand for tickets proves once again just how special the York Theatre Royal pantomime is to so many people and with that it mind we have decided to launch ticket sales for next Christmas pantomime on Thursday 1st March, and I like the audience can’t wait to find out what it is." Berwick Kaler said about this Year “Cinderella is still as fresh as the day we opened, and I don't think anyone should miss what is without a shadow of doubt the most memorable pantomime we have done in years. Audiences have been ecstatic in their praise of this production, and the transformation scene alone is worth paying us a visit in the last two weeks of the run - it will stay in your memory forever.” Pantomime in York has long been a local tradition and no more so than this year with Cinderella as Berwick Kaler’s sidekick, Martin Barrass, celebrates 21 years of appearing in pantomime here.
