 Dreams Really Do
Come True!

 SLEEPING BEAUTY or The Famous Rose Taboo takes the
stage.

Book and lyrics by Barbara Fried. Music by Norman
Sachs.

 Coronado Playhouse presents the
musical version of the classic romantic fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, with a
decidedly modern twist, as part of our Summer of Love Series. With hallmarks of
originality, charm and enchantment, Sleeping Beauty or The Famous Rose Taboo was
originally presented Off-Broadway in 1965 at the Astor Place Playhouse. It played
an astonishingly long run for a young audiences musically, transporting a new
generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true. This classic tale of
love is complete with a beautiful princess, a handsome prince, a good fairy
godmother, a singing page, a bumbling fairy godfather, a mistake-prone king and
his wiser queen. And, of course, there is a scary fairy – who sings that it’s
very “unfair-y” that she has never been chosen to be a godmother. Sleeping
Beauty or The Famous Rose Taboo is the ultimate heart-warming tale of love
conquering all. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a
touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike will soar when
Prince Charming magically awakens Princess Beauty from an awful spell, with
true love’s kiss.

Enjoy this treasure
on stage at the beautiful Coronado Playhouse, the theatre on Glorietta bay.
