But the music hall's new owner wants to stage a Cinderella pantomime and the cast's efforts to convince the phantom it's really a melodrama are hilarious. Tickets to tonight's show - which includes a two course dinner and an open bar - are $50 per head and they can be booked online. Note: Anther theatre-restaurant performance will be held in Proston tomorrow night. Note: This event has been postponed due to illness in the cast. A new date will be announced in due course.
