Sinderella

Sinderella is a pantomime created by Jim Davidson and Bryan Blackburn. It is a sexually explicit derivative of Cinderella.

Conceived in Charlie Drake's dressing room at the Theatre Royal in Margate in 1990 in front of Drake and Ward Baker, the show initially featured Davidson as Buttons, Drake as Baron Hardon, Dianne Lee as Cinderella, Jess Conrad as Prince Charming, David Kristian as Dandini, Mia Carla as The Fairy Godmother, and Roger Kitter and Dave Lee as Camilla and Madonna the stepdaughters, all of whom had played either their own roles or comparable roles in civilised versions of the play. The show utilised several extra-large vibrators and a pantomime horse with a large penis as set-pieces, and the Fairy Godmother was flatulent. This version was mounted between 1993 and 1996 at various British theatres, and received largely negative critical reception.

Sinderella was later reworked and toured in 1997 and 2004 as Sinderella Comes Again. The 1997 tour omitted Drake but featured Deborah Corrigan as "Fairy Mark II" and the Oddballs as CIC, Dirty Mac, and M.C. Cucumber, while the 2004 tour omitted Corrigan but featured a voice performance from a now stricken Drake, and was greeted with positive reception. A further attempt at a sequel in 2015, Sinderella 2: A Scottish Romp, was cancelled mid-run after Davidson was accused of unacceptable behaviour.
