This holiday season, Dubai’s Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) at Souk Madinat Jumeirah is transforming into a whimsical world of fairy-tale charm as MTDXB Panto Productions presents the timeless family favorite Cinderella. Set within TODA’s mesmerizing 360-degree digital space, this performance invites audiences of all ages to step into a captivating fusion of traditional pantomime and immersive digital artistry.

The show promises an unforgettable mix of laughter, music, and vibrant storytelling brought to life through dazzling visual effects and interactive scenes, making it an ideal holiday escape for families.
Written by acclaimed pantomime playwright Tom Whalley, Cinderella keeps the heart of the classic tale while adding humor, energy, and a modern twist that audiences adore. Whalley, known for his creative spins on traditional stories, shares the unique magic of pantomime—a tradition that sparks joy and encourages the audience to join in the story’s journey. “Pantomime is often a child’s first experience of live theatre, a gateway to the enchantment of storytelling on stage,” says Whalley. “I aim to bring laughter, excitement, and that irresistible magic that leaves audiences cheering, singing, and simply swept away.”
Anna Magritskaya-Lebedeva, Managing Director of TODA, expresses her excitement for the collaboration, highlighting how the immersive digital space elevates the pantomime experience. “With our 360-degree digital effects, the audience doesn’t just watch—they become part of the story itself,” she explains. “It’s a rare opportunity for families to feel the full excitement of a pantomime while being surrounded by the magic on all sides.”
