Ref. 31031-53 Tweet smile . . . Olivia Precious who plays a robin in The Slipper And The RoseA SHOW opening tonight at Swindon's Wyvern Theatre will be raising money for the Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Movement.

The Estelle School Of Dance puts on a show every two years and The Slipper And The Rose follows the success of The Wizard Of Oz, The Snow Queen and Alice.

The last show, Pinocchio, raised more than £3,000 for the baby unit at the Great Western Hospital.

Daniel Donachy is one of Swindon's rising stars and he is set to charm the audience in the part of Prince Edward.

The musical in two acts tells the true story of Cinderella. Daniel has done his apprenticeship by appearing in all of the Summer Youth Projects at the Wyvern Theatre since they began 10 years ago.

And this year he scooped the Free Church Council Challenge Duo award at the Swindon Music Festival.

The show is based on the 1976 block-buster movie, which starred Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven.

The show at the Wyvern has a cast of about 150.

It runs until Saturday at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

Tickets are priced from £7 from the theatre on 01793 524481.
