Sleeping Beauty

Tim Burton meets Shrek meets "Once Upon a Time..." in a wonderful musical Christmas show for all the family at the Citizens Theatre. We can't promise Blind Date, but we can promise a brilliant adaptation of Sleeping Beauty by Rufus Norris.

Pricked by a spindle on her 16th birthday, Sleeping Beauty falls into a deep, deep sleep under the watchful eye of the mischievous, flatulent Fairy Goody -- whose spell backfired and left her with wonky wings. Obliged to play matchmaker for the slumbering princess, Goody puts prospective princes through their paces in search of the one who will awaken her mistress with a kiss.

But the prospect of happy-ever-after is not so straightforward in this gleefully gruesome take on the traditional tale. Perilous secrets will be revealed and ogres lurk within the kingdom, as Beauty uses all her wits to get her family home safe.

For all aged 5+
