Sleeping Beauty is an enchanting mix of music, magic, adventure and pantomime fun with bags of audience participation. This year, for the first time, pantomime is brought to Grimsby by one of the country’s top pantomime producers, Imagine Theatre, with a script written by the BAFTA Award-winning writing team of Iain Lauchlan and Will Brenton. Princess Belle is cursed by the wicked fairy Carabosse so that on her 18th birthday she will prick her finger upon a spinning wheel and die. Azuriel, the good fairy alters the spell that sends the princess into an enchanted sleep which will last for one hundred years. The only way she can be awoken is by a kiss from her one true love. Join Nurse Nanny Nora, Josh the Jester and the dashing Prince Valiant as they battle with dragons and time machines to ensure the Prince can wake the sleeping Princess on time! With spectacular sets and costumes, fabulous songs and dances and bags of slapstick fun Sleeping Beauty is a pantomime not to be missed! For simplicity we have also created a brand new pricing structure, making the pantomime more affordable than ever.
