Cinderella wants to party 'like its 1999' but her stepmother has other ideas...

Watford. New Year's Eve, 1999.

Cinderella loves music. Every night she dances alone in her room (cellar) and gets lost in the music - that is, until her dodgy CD Walkman gives out.

The Palace has been the home of panto since 1908, and Christmas just isn't the same without it! Support your local theatre and be part of our yearly heart-warming Christmas pantomime,... Read more

For 74 years the Scouts of Harpenden have been wowing packed audiences with their unique and award-winning blend of song, dance and comedy, all from a cast of 150 aged 9 to 18. It's the best possible antidote to the January blues you could imagine - a fun-packed family show.

The Gang Show is not considered age-appropriate for very small children due to its length and content. No children under 4 will be admitted.

Wheelchair requirements must be notified to the EMC Box Office at the time of booking as seats must be removed in order to accommodate them prior to the show. Consequently, no wheelchairs can be admitted without a prior booking.
