Kate Donnachie joins the cast of The English National Ballet’s Cinderella at Sadler’s Wells as The Narrator.

Meet the nature-loving Cinderella, who lives on the edge of an enchanted forest where she once gardened and sang with her mother. After loss and silence settle over her home, she’s left with a sharp-tongued stepmother, two noisy stepsisters, and a house full of chores and shadows. But when a letter arrives, inviting all to a Garden Ball, Cinderella’s journey to find her true self begins – guided by the spirit of her mother and the magic of the forest.

With a narrator to help the young audience follow the story, and a shortened, recorded version of Prokofiev’s ravishing score, this is the perfect introduction to ballet, and a fantastic family day out.

This new production by English National Ballet is choreographed by George Williamson and performed by students of the English National Ballet School Graduate Artists Programme.

Jamie Wilson Productions (JWP) is bringing the musical stage adaptation of the cult hit classic #COYOTEUGLY to the West End in 2027.

With original music & lyrics by the Grammy Award–winning and 16-time Academy Award–nominated songwriter Diane Warren. With a stage adaptation by original film screenwriter Gina Wendkos alongside Olivier Award–winning Vikki Stone, and directed & choreographed by the multi–Tony Award–winning Jerry Mitchell.

Diane Warren said, “For over 20 years I’ve been saying someone needs to do a Coyote Ugly musical. I’m so excited it is finally happening and that I will be a part of it! Both the movie and the soundtrack are guilty pleasure classics and now a fun guilty pleasure musical just when we need it most!”

Jamie Wilson, on behalf of the Producers said “We are incredibly proud to collaborate with such an exceptional, award-winning creative team to bring a new musical stage adaptation of this cult-classic to the West End in 2027.
Diane’s remarkable multi award-winning career speaks to her extraordinary influence on popular music, with her songs including hits such as If I Could Turn Back Time; Because You Loved Me, How Do I Live and I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.
We are thrilled that the production will feature not only her iconic tracks from the original film, but also an unparalleled slate of brand-new songs written exclusively by Diane for the stage.
We’re inviting audiences to join us for a wild theatrical experience, immersed in the electric atmosphere of the iconic NY venue, where the music will capture all the heart and heat of the original story whilst igniting it anew for the next generation.”

Eight months after we last saw her, Nina (Ashley Storrie) is knee-deep in mud on an Isle of Wight dig site, living her palaeontology dream. Or at least, that’s what she tells herself. Truthfully, she’s exhausted, missing Glasgow, her family, Lee – oh, and her home comforts, namely Real Housewives marathons with Evie and Sausage rolls. When she finally returns to Scotland, she finds that everything has changed. Her workplace has moved, there’s some big McArthur family news, plus she’s thrown into an awkward feelings triangle between Lee and an unexpected new arrival. She has learnt to handle change. But this much change, all at once?
