Following the cancellation of its opening night last week, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella has announced new dates and is set to open on 25 August, with previews from 18 August.
The production had begun previews at the Gillian Lynne Theatre before COVID rules forced the company into self-isolation on 19 July - the same date as COVID restrictions relaxed in England, causing Lloyd Webber to proclaim that 'Freedom Day has turned into closure day'.
