Even in times of seeming impossible circumstances, it's important to remember that destiny must be served, and we must follow our path. Not only does the farm boy turned hero learn this lesson, but so does the audience as we encourage all to feel the confidence in knowing your purpose and knowing you are the voice that creates your reality.
Sleeping Beauty stories have also always been about reawakening the feminine, as Rose is brought to life by the kiss of her true love!
Alpha's version is also just really, really silly! Hilarious for both children and adults and a whole lot of fun! Even the older boys will love this one!
Sleeping Beauty, the third show that Alpha produced, is based on the classic fairytale along with humour, modern songs and subtle value-based themes thrown in for good measure!
Help Veg and Mite find Aurora, Fairy Floss unfreeze the King and Queen, Andy practice his juggling, Maleficent get what she deserves and Jamie, the humble farm boy, to find his confidence so he can save the Princess!
This show is extremely popular and the 2008 season has already sold out, so book now for 2009 or email to be put on a waiting list.

Sleeping Beauty weaves together the classic story with an Australian and Alpha style that includes the audience even more. The story will evoke lots of laughter and sentimentality, but also update the gender stereotypes into the 21st century giving this fairytale new life whilst honouring and inspiring new ideals and archetypes. And it's just a LOT of fun! Positive role-models & values are also strong themes in this surprisingly up to date version of the classic.
Specifics:
- Suitable for all audiences, families work well, age 2 or 3 upwards to age 15, although due to length of show you may want to advertise that the show is aimed at age 4 or 5 to 15.
- Modular set, about 9 metres wide. 5 scenes: The Royal Family's Palace, Maleficent's castle, the Forest, the Cottage, and the Dungeon. Fits perfectly on a stage, connects to wings. Maleficent's Castle needs a clearance of 3 metres high.
- Also includes other props including the famous spinning wheel, and Sleeping Beauty's resting bed.
Tech Specs:
- Alpha sets up all sound and lighting off-prompt. We can connect to 3-phase or 2 separate circuited standard outlets, so it's best to have these available off-prompt
- Sound desk with powerful amp and speakers. Unless your venue is large this will be sufficient for most venues. For larger venues, please have a DI Box or a headphone/quarter inch jack to take a channel up to your system. It is Alpha policy to always have our sound system set up in case there is ever a problem with a venue system.
- We will do a substantial sound test with a dB meter to get the levels appropriate for your venue, whether we are using just our equipment or connecting in to your sound system as well. This will be slightly louder than you may be used to with other children's shows but well within safety levels. This is due to the nature of the product, being a rock-concert style, and the fact we are appealing to a higher age range.
- Lighting will be done at all venues using our own equipment and operators. Please have a place ready to set up 2 x lighting trees in an appropriate position with good view of the stage area. This can be on the side or at the rear of the auditorium.
- Our lighting includes: 12 x Par 56's, 2 x 650w Selecon Acclaim Fresnel's, 2 x 250w Moving Head Intelligent Lights, 1 x 1300w Blinder connected to 2 x 6 channel Theatrelight Dimmers controlled by a LSC Minim desk
- All lighting is operated by Alpha crew. We have a complicated lighting plot with very specific and quick cues and Alpha policy is to ALWAYS run our own lights no matter the venue
- Some venues benefit from adding in the standard house rig in addition to the lighting we provide. We can call the show to your lighting operator to add additional lights at your venue.
- Fog Machine used - venue must have smoke detectors isolated
- All other equipment, set and costumes etc set up by Alpha.
