It has been announced that the opening night of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella at Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre will be postponed after its leading lady, Grace Mouat, sustained an injury.

A statement from the venue said: “Unfortunately due to an injury, Grace Mouat, will be unable to perform for the immediate foreseeable, whilst she takes some time to recover. We are hopeful that Grace will be able to return to the show soon and we wish her a speedy recovery. 

“As a result we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Press Night until we have more clarity on her recovery. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope that you will be able to join us at a later date.”

In the meantime, the role of Ella will be played by Ria Tanaka.

Get well soon, Grace!
