A sparkling story of a princess who sleeps for a hundred years…

All is not well in the medieval court of King Dafydd and Queen Myfanwy when the evil magician Morgan the Bad isn’t invited to the christening of the beautiful baby Princess Rose.  Determined to get his revenge, he casts a spell declaring she will die on her 18th birthday by pricking her finger on a cursed spinning wheel.  However, good Fairy Blodwen is having none of this but the best her magic powers can do is make Princess Rose fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years.

Enter our wonderful, wacky comedy characters of Nanny Thoroughgood, Muddles the Genial Jester and the lusty Prince Cedric Lostalot...and so begins a medley of madcap mayhem in the fight of good against evil.  But who will save the day and will our very own Sleeping Beauty wake to live happily ever after?

Once again The Riverfront joins with The Hiss & Boo Company to bring back the unrivalled pantomime team that brought you last year’s hilarious ’Jack and the Beanstalk’ and the unforgettable ’Cinderella’ and ’Dick Whittington’ pantomimes.  And of course Brian Hibbard, the one you love to hate, is back leading a strong company featuring several familiar Welsh faces.

Can the irrepressible Brian Hibbard as Morgan the Bad be even more evil than last year? OH YES HE CAN! - Will our Fairy Blodwen (Gillian Elisa) conjure up the most powerful of spells?  Will our Princess (Jacquelyn Kent) be as beautiful as in every fairy tale? - OH YES THEY WILL! - Can Prince Cedric Lostalot (Michael Luxton) be as handsome in the flesh? - OH YES HE WILL!  Can Muddles (Andrew Beavis) be as silly as his name sounds? - Will his Mum, that dimpled dumpling of a delicious Dame, (Phylip Harries) be as outrageous as ever? - YOU BET!

Will lots of lively local lads and lasses sing and dance their hearts out? - OH YES THEY WILL!
