"It's important that we show our children, in terms of archetypes, they're not ugly [sisters], they're just mean. Ugly on the inside"
Following two hugely successful years of Jewish panto at JW3, playwright Nick Cassenbaum returns for a third act. This time the fairytale of Cinderella gets the potty panto treatment, with more infectious music, madcap constumes and mischievous antics. Ahead of opening night on Sunday 7 December, we spoke to one half of this year's mean sister duo, Fleishig & Milchig (Yiddish for Meat & Dairy). Hit play below to hear New York performer Rosie Yadid (Milchig) discuss the crossover between seder and panto, smashing archetypes and "80s realness". And listen out too for the voice of producer Becky Plotnek.
Cinderella and the Matzo Ball runs Sunday 7 December – Sunday 4 January. Times vary. From £27 (adult), from £17 (child). JW3, London, NW3 6ET. jw3.org.uk/panto
