Pantomime returns to Milton Keynes Theatre for the 2026/27 season with the magical fairytale Sleeping Beauty, the panto that promises to make dreams come true.
Sleeping Beauty is staged by Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, led by Michael Harrison and the team behind recent Milton Keynes Theatre Christmas successes, including last season’s production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
“As another fantastic pantomime season comes to an end, the team here at Milton Keynes Theatre are already looking forward to this year’s production of Sleeping Beauty….oh yes we are!" saidEmma Sullivan, Theatre Director at Milton Keynes Theatre, "The feedback for Goldilocks and The Three Bears was spectacular, and audiences can look forward to more fun, excitement and pantomime magic in Sleeping Beauty. We look forward to seeing you all there!”
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, Princess Aurora receives a birthday present from her wicked aunt Carabosse. A single prick of an enchanted spinning wheel places her under a cruel curse and sends her into a century of slumber!
Will true love endure? Will the Prince break the spell? Come and find out in this panto featuring stunning sets and costumes, fantastic special effects and laugh-out-loud comedy!
Casting for Sleeping Beauty will be announced later in 2026.
Tickets are on sale now for this spellbinding production, running from Saturday, December 5 2026 to Sunday, January 10, 2027.
