About the Writer Tom Whalley, acclaimed for his fresh takes on classic pantomimes, brings his engaging storytelling to Dubai. Known for combining timeless tales with humour and modern flair, Tom’s work has delighted audiences worldwide, from the UK to Singapore.

Tom writes: “Pantomime is not only a much-loved British tradition and festive staple but it is often a child’s first experience of live theatre. Most every performer you’ve ever seen was once a captivated child at the pantomime experiencing the magic of theatre for the very first time which is why I feel such a strong sense of responsibility when it comes to performing myself and crafting pantomime scripts for theatre companies around the globe. I love pantomime – I love the electric energy just before the curtain rises in anticipation of two and a half hours of laughter, cheering, booing, singing and dancing all to take you away to a magical place!”

Anna Magritskaya-Lebedeva, Managing Director, Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) writes: “We’re excited to welcome Cinderella to TODA and offer our guests a chance to experience the unique charm of pantomime in a way that’s never been done before. Pantos are full of laughter, audience participation, and wonder, and with our 360 immersive experience, guests are transported directly into the heart of the story. It’s a magical opportunity for families to not only enjoy the fun and excitement of a pantomime but to be part of that magic in a truly unforgettable setting”.
