Originally conceived in 1997 but recreated as a completely fresh production for it latest run, Cinderella is one of New Adventures most popular and beloved productions. Matthew Bourne s vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and his interpretation of the classic fairy tale has, at its heart, a true war-time romance. A chance meeting results in a magical moment for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz. Designer Lez Brotherston s sumptuous costumes and sets won an Olivier Award for his original designs and this latest production sees Paul Groothuis s specially commissioned recording of Prokofiev s magnificent score played by a 60-piece orchestra in Surround Sound. Formed as part of the company s 30th anniversary celebrations, Cinderella recreates the sights and sounds of a war-torn London with the help of Olivier Award-winning lighting designer, Neil Austin and Duncan McLean, whose video and projection designs provide a glorious backdrop to the dancing of a wonderful cast. The DVD includes the new film, The Making of Cinderella, featuring interviews with cast members Ashley Shaw, Andrew Monaghan, Liam Mower and Michela Meazza as well as Matthew Bourne himself. ## Images ![Matthew Bourne's Cinderella - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uWxqoWxVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ A disaster *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020* Matthew Bourne has converted a delightful fairy tale into a story with the stark realism of the 1940 London Blitz. In other Cinderellas the two step-sisters provide the comic relief. No comedy here, they have only a minor role. And there are also 3 obnoxious step-brothers to clutter up the stage in the first act. (If this is supposed to be comedy, it escapes me.) There’s a clever duet between Cinderella and a mannikin, but that’s about it. The fairy godmother is a male angel, and to preserve the 1940 milieu, he drives her to the ball in a motorcycle with a sidecar (actually 1918). The prince is an RAF airman, who definitely is not in good shape (possibly has something like shell-shock.)The ball is actually a party at a nightclub, but the nightclub has just been bombed and there are a lot of dead bodies lying all over the place. However, the angel gets there first and brings everybody back to life again, where the couples start dancing something like a jitterbug. The airman is there, now rejuvenated, and he joins in the dancing. In other Cinderellas, just before midnight she and the prince “declare their love” with a duet that’s a highlight of the ballet. Here, the airman does the prince one better, and takes Cindy to bed for a little quickie sex. Comes midnight there’s no clock, but the Nazis have to come back and bomb the place all over again (good stage effects). Half the people are killed and Cinderella is wounded. She is carted off to the hospital, losing the obligatory shoe in the process.The third act after that gets even worse. The airman suffers a lot in looking for Cinderella, and I suffered also just watching him. The ballet ends 3 years later with a particularly corny sequel. It’s awful. I have an extensive ballet DVD collection with 10 Cinderellas (and another one with Strauss music). Many have modifications of the original Cinderella story, but they all have a goodly amount of charm, grace, and magic. But not this one. It has a few interesting portions and I was tempted to give it a 2 rating, but that third act was a killer. (Perhaps you might call this a dance-drama instead of a ballet -- even still, I didn't like it.)I guess you have to be a Bourne fan to appreciate this ballet. I note that when it comes to a chorus of only one sex, he seems to prefer the male (as in this and his Swan Lake). ### ⭐⭐ Too Modern..... *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019* You really need an imagination to connect this to The Cinderelloa we all know..... ### ⭐ I was so hopeful! *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021* This could have been SO EPIC. Instead it felt a little flat and lurid at times. We had to look up the plot online because we couldn't follow it by just their dancing. Not a fan, and I'm sad about it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/122710446-matthew-bournes-cinderella](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/122710446-matthew-bournes-cinderella) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
