Sleeping Beauty tells the story of a baby girl named Aurora who was born to the King and Queen of a magical fairytale kingdom. A wicked fairy curses the baby at her christenin­g, promising that Aurora will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. Luckily the good Lilac Fairy had not yet placed her blessing on Aurora. She softened the evil curse; rather than death the Princess would instead fall into a deep sleep. A century later, with the help of the Lilac Fairy, a Prince seeks to awaken Aurora from this sleep and lift the spell. A magical story awaits audiences who embark on this adventure.
