The Pasadena Playhouse and Lythgoe Family Productions (LFP) presents this year's Panto at the Playhouse SLEEPING BEAUTY AND HER WINTER KNIGHT. The production opened on December 10 and plays through January 4, 2015. BroadwayWorld has photos from the opening night festivities below!

The cast features Disney Recording Artist Olivia Holt as "Aurora" (Disney's "I Didn't Do It"), Garrett Clayton (Disney's "Teen Beach Movie") as Sleeping Beauty's Prince of Alhambra, Lucy Lawless as "Carabosse" ("Xena: Warrior Princess," "Spartacus"), David Engel as "Nanny Tickle" (Broadway's "La Cage aux Folles," "Seussical"), Tamyra Grayas "The Good Fairy" ("American Idol," Broadway's "Bombay Dreams" and "Rent") and returning from last year's Panto at the Playhouse production of Aladdin and His Winter Wish, Ben Giroux as "Silly Billy" (CW's "Hart of Dixie).

Also returning from last year's hugely successful Panto at The Playhouse production of Aladdin and His Winter Wish, will be director Bonnie Lythgoe ("So You Think You Can Dance"), choreographer Spencer Liff (Emmy nominee "So You Think You Can Dance") and musical director Michael Orland ("American Idol"). The book is by Kris Lythgoe, scenic and costume design by Lythgoe Family Productions, and the LFP producers include Kris Lythgoe, Bonnie Lythgoe, Becky Lythgoe and Jason Haigh Ellery.

An updated version of the classic Grimm fairytale, in the style of a traditional British family Panto, SLEEPING BEAUTY and Her Winter Knight is a singing and soaring winter adventure that features family-friendly magic, with a comedic twist, dancing (with "So You Think You Can Dance" alumni), a live pony, interaction with the audience and contemporary music from Jessie J's "Domino" to John Legend's "All Of Me," Pharrell Williams "Happy" to Survivor's "Eye of The Tiger" and more. A Panto is known for its interactive style and humor that appeals to everyone from ages 2 - 102!

SLEEPING BEAUTY and Her Winter Knight will play December 10, 2014 - January 4, 2015. The Pasadena Playhouse is located at 39 South El Molino Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101.
