About the show
Get your dessert spoons ready for a tale of perseverance, princes, palace balls, glass slippers and, um, ice cream?
Over the last four decades, Cinderella’s has become the kingdom’s most beloved ice cream company, with a parlour on every street corner. But how did a humble ice cream maker with not a penny to her name end up as a multimillionaire business woman with her own ice cream empire?
In this new musical for families and children, join Talvi and Caldwell, loyal employees of Cinderella’s, as they share her rags to riches tale, and confront their own desires, hopes, and the magic that lies within each scoop of Cinderella's legendary ice cream.
Perfect for children and families alike, this exciting musical retelling of a fairytale classic promises a delightful blend of storytelling, music, and theatrical magic that will capture your heart and tickle your taste buds.

Praise for Cinderella Ice Cream Seller
“The stand-out number, Something That’s Bigger Than Me, would not be out of place in a Disney movie. Catchy and immensely tuneful, it’s a song that is almost bigger than the show, suggesting that Gibbs has the talent for his work to be heard by a wider audience.”
“It is a genuine treat to watch Cinderella Ice Cream Seller blossom in front of your eyes... the show builds emotional stakes for these two, aided by Gibb’s terrific compositions (think Operation Mincemeat meets Nick Cope), which gives the final moments a resounding, fist-punch-in-the-air quality.”
“I found myself crying...The songs were entertaining, beautifully written and performed and the double story line was inspired. We all absolutely loved it.”
“I just wanted to say how completely and utterly bowled over the kids and I were by Cinderella Ice Cream Seller. It was joyful, magical and thoroughly entertaining.”
“...it’s a CORKER. David Gibb has gone full Sondeim and written both the words and music. The songs are brilliant, of course, but the story hits all the right notes too. HARD RECCOMEND for 4-9s.”
