NIGHTRANGER: THE GIFT OF GABBA

TIME FOR CHEERS

Looking for cool holiday haps with pop culture appeal? We checked out Lythgoe Family Productions' stage production of Cinderella at El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, and it's a festive family event to mark on the calendar. The name Lythgoe (Nigel is responsible for So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol) should give ya a clue about this one. The classic fairy tale is set to modern music and done in interactive British-panto style (the crowd is invited to boo and cheer throughout). There are elaborate costumes, dance and comedy, and the wicked stepsisters are drag queens named Cowell and Seecrest ... 'nuff said. See elportaltheatre.com for tickets and info.
