Set to Tchaikovsky's ravishing score with a wealth of dazzling dance and a whole storybook full of characters, The Sleeping Beauty promises to be a delight for all to enjoy.
The production will be staged by Kevin McKenzie, Gelsey Kirkland and Michael Chernov with music by Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky, set by Tom Walton, Costumes by Willa Kim, with Additional Designs by Holly Hynes and lighting by Richard Pilbrow and Dawn Chiang.
