SLEEPING BEAUTY
Adapted by Don Kukla Music and Lyrics by Don Kukla and Michael McGill
The Missoula Children’s Theatre presents SLEEPING BEAUTY, an original adaptation of the classic fairy tale.
A new princess is born, and from far and wide the people of the kingdom gather to celebrate – except for the vicious Scarella who casts a spell upon the poor infant. Sleeping Beauty is destined to sleep for eternity if she should prick her finger on a spindle before her sixteenth birthday.
Sleeping Beauty’s Fairy Godmothers do their best to amend the spell, but Scarella, with the help of some nasty Trolls, tricks Sleeping Beauty into pricking her finger and the spell takes effect. Five hundred years pass and Sleeping Beauty wakes to find herself in a Rock ‘n Roll dream!
Also featured in this production are the King and the Queen, Spot, the Fairies, the Palace Attendants and the Caterpillars. SLEEPING BEAUTY – a Rock ‘n Roll Fable for the ages. This is definitely no sleeper!
