Sleeping Beauty

You are invited to attend a grand reawakening...

The wait is over! Following an extensive refurbishment, you are invited to attend a grand reawakening… as The Arts Theatre presents a dazzling new production of Sleeping Beauty.

Cambridge’s favourite dame Matt Crosby celebrates his twentieth year on The Arts Theatre stage, and will be joined by UK Pantomime Award-winning Steven Roberts. The cast is completed by a host of West End performers including Tricia Adele-Turner (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), Matt Harrop (The Phantom of the Opera), Tanisha Butterfield (Mamma Mia!), Joseph Hewlett (Madagascar the Musical) and Daisy Twells (Heathers).

In an enchanted kingdom Princess Rose is cursed on the day of her christening by the wicked Carabosse. The Princess is destined to prick her finger on a spinning wheel before her eighteenth birthday, falling into a deep slumber for 100 years unless awakened by true love’s kiss.

For her own protection Rose is sent to live deep within the Botanic Gardens, only returning to Trumpington Castle on the eve of her eighteenth birthday. However Carabosse has other ideas… Who will take the perilous journey to save the kingdom from the evil fairy’s spell, once and for all?

Join us this Christmas and let the magic unfold as the curtain rises on a brand-new pantomime, and an exciting new chapter for The Arts Theatre. Book your tickets today!
