Stars of The Gaiety Theatre’s Christmas pantomime Cinderella dropped into Temple Street Hospital yesterday to spread a bit of holiday magic.
Stephanie McKeon, who is playing the princess herself appeared in full costume along with her costars Prince Charming (David Glynn-Crowley) and the Fairy Godmother (Sharon Sexton).
The trio were given a warm welcome by children in the renal unit after wrapping up rehearsals at the theatre.
Five-year-old Laura Doyle from County Longford was especially excited to see Cinderella and her Prince.
Cinderella will debut in the Gaiety Theatre next Wednesday
Laura, who is pictured above, underwent a kidney transplant two weeks ago and her family is hoping she will be home in time for Santa’s visit.
Cinderella also met three-year-old Kayla Friel who may be spending the holiday in Temple Street.
According to The Irish Independent, her dad said: “We’re staying in the hospital at the minute, taking each day as it comes.”
The panto begins in the Gaiety on December 2.
