Disney Child Star OLIVIA HOLT is SLEEPING BEAUTY in SLEEPING BEAUTY AND HER WINTER KNIGHT at the Pasadena Playhouse. The Panto is now in its final week and must close Sunday, January 4, 2015.
An updated version of the classic Grimm fairytale, in the style of a traditional British family Panto, SLEEPING BEAUTY and Her Winter Knight, starring Disney Child Star OLIVIA HOLT is a singing and soaring winter adventure that features family-friendly magic, with a comedic twist, dancing (with “So You Think You Can Dance” alumni), interaction with the audience and contemporary music from Jessie J’s “Domino” to John Legend’s “All Of Me,” Pharrell Williams “Happy” to Survivor’s “Eye of The Tiger” and more. Pantos are highly interactive shows – perfect for boisterous children. They encourage the audience to shout and participate including a BOO for evil Carabosse and CHEER for Aurora and her Prince. SING ALONG to songs you know and above all, enjoy yourself!
