Casting revealed for SLEEPING BEAUTY TAKES A PRICK! at Charing Cross Theatre

Full casting has been announced for Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick!, which plays at Charing Cross Theatre from 23 November 2023 - 13 January 2024.

This sublimely silly and staggeringly rude fabulous festive treat will star the previously announced Matthew Baldwin as Queen Gertrude, alongside Nikki Biddington (Faking Bad: A Parody Methsical, Turbine Theatre), Natalia Brown (Ain’t Too Proud, West End), Matthew Gent (Cabaret, West End), Myles Hart (The Book of Mormon, West End), Chris Lane (Sh!tfaced Shakespeare, UK tour/London), Tom Mann (Fanny & Stella, Above the Stag), Jordan Stamatiadis (Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends: A Celebration, West End), and Fin Walton (professional debut).

Journey back in time to the tiny kingdom of Slutvia and a 21st birthday ball, where the haughty but horny widowed Queen Gertrude is on the prowl for a husband, and her son Prince Beauty searches for the boy of his dreams. When he stumbles on a prick in the palace garden, he wakes up in a modern world where palaces are run by the National Trust and the man of your dreams is somewhere on Grindr…

Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! is written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper, with original songs by Jon Bradfield. direction by Andrew Beckett, set design by David Shields, costumes by Sandy Lloyd and Robert Draper, lighting by Jamie Platt, orchestrations and musical direction by Aaron Clingham, and sound by Keegan Curran.
