EDITORS COMMENTS
Cinderella Takes Centre Stage: A Grand Spectacle at the London Hippodrome, 1901 In this delightful illustration, we are transported back in time to the London Hippodrome in 1901, where the first annual pantomime production of Cinderella was making waves as the most lavish and extravagant show of the season. The Hippodrome's management spared no expense in bringing this beloved fairy tale to life, and the results were nothing short of magical. At the heart of the production was the enchanting Cinderella, surrounded by a vibrant cast of characters. From left to right, we see the Fairy Godmother bestowing her magical gifts, the mischievous Ugly Sisters, the dashing Prince, and the ever-faithful Dame. The illustration also includes a caricature of Frank Parker, the Hippodrome's stage director, who deservedly takes a bow in the centre. The production of Cinderella was a true spectacle, with elaborate costumes, stunning sets, and breathtaking special effects. The London Hippodrome had long been known for its grand productions, but this pantomime raised the bar even higher. The illustration captures the excitement and wonder of the production, with its lively characters and intricate details. It is a testament to the creativity and innovation of the Hippodrome's team, and a reminder of the magic that can be found on the stage. So, join us in celebrating the opening of Cinderella at the London Hippodrome in 1901 - a truly unforgettable theatrical experience!
