In this special New Year treat for your ears, Rick Wakeman offers you his one-of-a-kind Pantomime!

Specially written for the podcast and starring legends from the stage and screen, this holiday treat is not to be missed.

Based (very) loosely on the tale of Cinderella, it is a story of hope, love and appalling jokes.

The panto was recorded in front of a live audience at one of Rick's Christmas 2025 concerts, which he held in aid of the animal charity Saving Strays.

The stars of the panto are:

Rick Wakeman - Cinder Wakeman

Peter Egan - (A Proper Actor) - Narrator & Prince Charming

Mollie Marriott - The Fairy Godmother

Rachel Wakeman - Evil Stepmother

Dave Brock & Harvey Allen - (aka Triple Cream) - Ugly Sisters

Brian Greenaway - (also from Triple Cream) - Buttons & Dandini

Special thanks to the Triple Cream stars for the use of their recording equipment, they're completely fabulous and saved the day. Find them here. https://triplecream.com/

Also special thanks to Dubbing Mixer - Murray J

Happy New Year from the Myths & Legends Of Rick Wakeman team!
