Long ago and far away the King and Queen of Arcadia are celebrating the
birth of their daughter Princess Beauty. However, the celebrations are
short-lived when an angry black fairy, Carabosse, turns up to the
Christening and bestows a curse on the baby because she had not
received her invitation. When Princess Beauty reaches the age of 18 she
will prick her finger on a needle and die!
Luckily, the Lilac Fairy hasn’t bestowed her gift and manages to lift some
of the curse. Instead of dying, Beauty will sleep for a hundred years and
be woken by the kiss of a handsome prince. As the court don’t want to
leave Beauty to wake up to a world where she doesn’t know anyone they
too will sleep for a hundred years.
A century later, Prince Michael arrives and after fighting off Carabosse’s
Black Knight awakens Beauty with a kiss. The rest of the court is woken
by the Lilac Fairy and a wedding is soon planned. However, Carabosse
is not to be thwarted so easily and she hatches another plan to get rid of
the princess. Will the prince rescue Beauty? Will Carabosse be
defeated? All is revealed as the show unfolds!
