David is considered one of the UKs premier drag performers and has worked all over the world. Georgia Gallagher is very excited to be returning to Buxton to play the role of Cinderella for her second season at the beautiful Opera House.”

The full cast also includes: Ross Clifton as the Prince, Lucas Bailey as Buttons, Charlotte-Hannah Jones as Fairy Godmother, Felix Price as Buns and Sophie Bright, Harry Reynolds, Beth Gourlay, Amy Cray Edgell and Elliot OJ Hutchinson in the ensemble.
