Performed to a stunning score from Tchaikovsky, beautiful sets and costumes, evocative lighting, and masterly storytelling, this endlessly adored fairy tale is brought to life by the uniquely talented New Adventures company.

After premiering at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth in 2012, the production ran for 8 weeks over the Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells before going on to tours of the UK, Russia, Italy and the UK. Sleeping Beauty is New Adventures’ fastest-selling show of all time.
