He’s Behind You! presents Cinderella: Buttons Undone!
Written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper
Songs by Jon Bradfield
Directed by Andrew Beckett
Don't miss the hilarious return of London's best alternative Christmas show from award-winning adult panto queens He's Behind You! following last year's smash hit Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story! (★★★★★ "An absolute blast" - Gay Times).
There's totty in town! Tennis champion Ivan Yassandvich is famed for his massive balls and now he's holding one in the resort of Lob-on-Sea, at which he will choose a bride. Hotel maid Cindy and her stepsister boss Mercedes are excited: it's not just the bedrooms that are showing signs of damp.
Cindy's set to meet her prince, and even her gay bestie Buttons can't mess this one up. He's sworn off straight boys: the rimming's always risky, and anyway, this isn't his story...
With everyone's favourite dame Matthew Baldwin ("sublime" - Guardian) and popular He's Behind You! stalwart Chris Lane as the siblings from hell, you'll have a ball at this deeply adult and obnoxiously gay fairytale pantomime. Book now and treat yourself to some summer love this winter.

The Charing Cross Theatre: The Venue
The Charing Cross Theatre is one of the smallest West End theatres with only 275 seats. The theatre was rebuilt in 1989 as part of the Charing Cross re-development to meet the demands of national and international producers wanting a theatre that offered a degree of intimacy and is the equivalent of an Off-Broadway space.
The Charing Cross Theatre: History
Founded in 1936, Charing Cross Theatre (formerly the New Players Theatre) occupied several premises in the West End before locating to its present site under The Arches below Charing Cross Station. The current site was a famous Victorian music hall which went on to produce many musicals, pantomimes and melodramas.
Ideally situated under the arches of Charing Cross Station, London's Charing Cross Theatre (formerly the New Players Theatre) is brimming with history and is proud to be one of London’s last remaining music hall venues. Over 100 years of entertainment lives within these walls creating a beautifully theatrical atmosphere bursting with memories of London’s finest entertainers - and, back in the days, if you were willing to buy a pint and a cigar then your entrance was free! With the smoking ban now in force The Charing Cross Theatre must charge a little more than that, but it remains a competitively priced, central London venue, giving audiences the chance to see, with ease, a range of entertainment.
Charing Cross Theatre strives to continue the historical spirit of the venue by entertaining audiences with many kinds of events from late night cabarets, plays, comedy and musicals to showcases, fashion shows and music gigs.
The Charing Cross Theatre is beautiful and still has the original Victorian bar at the back of the auditorium with the original Victorian glass panelling, creating an atmosphere that is truly one of a kind. The theatre is perfectly complimented with a newly renovated bar and restaurant which is open until 2.30am. The Charing Cross Theatre is a venue which hardly sleeps.
The Cross' small in-house team are filled with passion and love for the venue, making this a home for all that visit and a place they will want to return to.
