Storytime Ballet: The Sleeping Beauty

Cast Sheet

Cast and Synopsis

"And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love's kiss, the spell shall break."

- Sleeping Beauty (1959)

The King and Queen call the fairies of the land to the christening of their only daughter, Aurora. But the King’s servant, Catalabutte, has left a very important fairy, Carabosse, off the list! She is furious and curses the baby. Luckily the kind Lilac Fairy steps in and says that she will not die, but will sleep for 100 years.

A brave Prince is out hunting and discovers the sleeping palace. He breaks Aurora’s spell with a kiss and they celebrate their wedding with all their fairytale friends!
