There will be spells aplenty at Birmingham Hippodrome this Christmas when a new production of Sleeping Beauty takes to the stage with an all-star cast.

Birmingham panto legend Matt Slack returns as Lester the Jester. Matt will be joined by award-winning television presenter, radio DJ, podcaster and number one best-selling author Rylan as the Diva of Dreams; West End star and acclaimed singer and presenter Zoe Birkett as Carabosse, and back for a 10th season is Birmingham’s favourite Dame, Andrew Ryan, as The Queen.

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, Princess Aurora receives a birthday present from her wicked aunt Carabosse. A single prick of an enchanted spinning wheel places her under a cruel curse and sends her into a century of slumber! Will true love endure? Will The Prince break the spell? Come and find out in a panto packed with magic, music, comedy and dazzling special effects.
