SLEEPING BEAUTY comes to Portsmouth’s New Theatre Royal this Christmas

New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth have announced their new pantomime for this year’s Christmas show, which runs from 9-31 December.

Sleeping Beauty promises to be a magical production of enchantment and comedy. With live music, stunning sets, slick choreography and sensational costumes, audiences can also expect lots of entertaining panto fun.

The timeless tale will be brought to life by a line-up of professional actors from stage and screen.

They will be joined by pantomime regular and award-winning actor Kevin James as Chester the Jester, Broadway and West End star Edward Baker-Duly playing the King and Michael Neilson in the role of Dame Nurse Nellie.

Sleeping Beauty is produced by award-winning Jordan Productions. Managing Director, Chris Jordan, said: “Following the success of Cinderella last year, we are excited to bring our enchanting production of Sleeping Beauty to the Portsmouth audience this Christmas and New Year. Full of surprises, fun and laughter, we hope to bring families and friends together for a truly enjoyable and festive experience.”

Head of Marketing at New Theatre Royal, Andy Sheppard, comments: “We had an overwhelming response to last year’s Christmas show which was the first time a traditional pantomime was performed on our stage in over 50 years. We can’t wait to welcome audiences back this year for what promises to be another magical and entertaining performance in the setting of our historical theatre.”
