Sleeping Beauty

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

The tale of the sleeping beauty - sleeping under the spell of a wicked witch until her Prince Charming comes to wake her up. Our Beauty's got herself in a spindly situation with an evil fairy and now she's not just resting her eyes, like Grandpa on Boxing Day, but she's well and truly out for the count. Will good triumph over evil? Will love win over jealousy? Will we find an alarm clock loud enough to wake this Sleeping Beauty before it's too late? Join us at The Playhouse from Fri 22 Nov 2024 to Sun 5 Jan 2025 to find out. Expect spellbinding costumes, toe-tapping tunes, and all your favourite loveable (and downright boo-able) panto heroes and villains. Reawaken your magical side with a festive experience that's perfect for all the family. Never mind goodnight, this is sure to be the BEST night.
