It’s a joyous celebration at the palace until the uninvited and fabulously fierce Maleficent crashes the party and places a wicked curse on baby Aurora. On her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into an eternal sleep!
Thankfully, the three slightly scatterbrained but well-meaning fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather soften the curse, and Aurora is hidden away in the forest under the watchful eye of Nanny Hugwell and Buttons. Years later, as Aurora blossoms into a brave young woman and Buttons tries and fails to keep up with Royal life, the handsome and kind-hearted Prince Stephan stumbles into their lives.
But Maleficent along with her side kick Diablo hasn’t finished her wicked games. With true love, mistaken identities, outrageous costumes, catchy songs, magical mayhem, and possibly a dragon that might just need a hug….will the prince break the curse or will Maleficent have the last laugh! Packed with laughs, love and lashings of panto fun, Sleeping Beauty is the magical adventure the whole family will love ------Oh yes you will!
