50 Sleeps ‘til the Magic of Sleeping Beauty arrives in New Brighton!
As the big panto countdown hits just 50 sleeps, excitement is building for Sleeping Beauty at the Floral Pavilion: a festive spectacular bursting with star power, sparkle, and surprises.
Opening on Saturday 6 December 2025 and with 50 performances, this dazzling production promises to be the most enchanting yet with a cast that blends West End brilliance, TV favourites, and local legends.
An already-stellar cast is completed by two royal additions - bringing even more West End sparkle:
Daniel Urch as Prince Vincent – A rising star trained at ArtsEd, Daniel has performed in Grease, Guys and Dolls, 110 in the Shade, and Eugenius at the London Palladium.
And David Pendlebury as The King – A seasoned performer with an extraordinary career spanning West End hits like The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty & the Beast, Starlight Express, and Disney’s The Lion King. David has also performed internationally in operas such as Carmen and Aida as well as being the founder of TheatreMAD/The Make A Difference Trust, known for producing iconic fundraising events like West End Eurovision and West End Bares.
They will join:
· Kelle Bryan (Fairy Snowfall) – Pop icon and TV star bringing warmth and wow-factor.
· Cleo Demetriou (Princess Rose) – Olivier Award-winner and CBBC favourite.
· Sean Jones (Lester the Jester) – Back by popular demand with his riotous comedy.
· Quinn Patrick (Nanny Nora) – Larger-than-life dame with glittering heels.
· Amy Perry (Carabosse) – The villain you’ll love to boo. And this year the family can all play along with the panto with a free new interactive game that works on phones, tablets, and web browsers. Players must find their way through a maze to reach Sleeping Beauty.
