Silly, sensational 'Cinderella'

For its 10th annual panto, People's Light and Theatre Company reprises its most successful venture into that festive British form: 2008's Cinderella. For audiences (with or without children) who missed the Barrymore-winning show its first time around, and those curious about all the panto fuss, the return engagement helps explain why this theatrical variant has been a holiday favorite across the pond since the 18th century.
