Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty at PlayhouseSquare

Screencap taken from www.playhousesquare.org

Matthew Bourne, one of the most successful dance choreographers in the world, and his company New Adventures, are bringing their lavish and spectacular productions of Sleeping Beauty to PlayhouseSquare. Marking a successful return to the music of Tchaikovsky with a haunting new scenario of the gothic tale for ages, Bourne and company turn the traditional story of good vs. evil upside down, and morph it into a supernatural love story.

The show is part of the KeyBank Broadway Series and will run through Sunday, October 13 at the Palace Theatre at PlayhouseSquare. Each show runs for 2 hours and 10 minutes including intermission, and ticket prices range from $10 to $75.

A five time Olivier Award winner, Matthew Bourne is also the only British artist to have won a Tony Award for both Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography. His works include critically acclaimed contemporary dance and musical theatre productions of Swan Lake, Edward Scissorhands, Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady, South Pacific and Oliver!
