3 November - 24 December 2026

Hi Kids Club! Gus the Theatre Cat here, and I’ve got some purr-fectly magical news about our next big holiday adventure! 

I am absolutely thrilled to share that the African Premiere of Sleeping Beauty the Musical is coming to the stage at Peoples Theatre very soon! We are getting ready to celebrate the festive season with an enchanting journey into a fairytale world, with performances running from 3 November to 24 December 2026! 

This brand-new adaptation of the timeless classic brings a fresh spin to the story we all know and love, featuring incredible original songs written by Ian Curran, Simon Hanson, and Peter Vint. We’ve crafted this show specially with our young theatregoers in mind, filling the stage with spellbinding costumes, magical fairies, raven spies, and dynamic music that will have the whole family enchanted! 

Our extraordinary cast is ready to transport you into the Kingdom of Australis. We are so excited to introduce our two lead stars: the talented Gabrielle De Gama as our beautiful, feisty Princess Aurora, and Tumelo Mogashoa as our charismatic Prince Perrault! Joining them is a stellar line-up including Donae Brazer as Queen Catherine, Gamelihle “Game” Bovana as King Henry, Luciano Zuppa as the wicked Hellisent, and Priyanka Bandu as Fairy Tulip. 

Whether you’re cheering on the prince, helping solve problems, or watching the colourful fairies weave their spells, our young audience members will play an important part in helping good triumph over evil. 

Through Aurora's journey of courage and self-discovery, this heartwarming story reminds us that kindness, love, and patience will always prevail. It is the ultimate year-end holiday outing. 

Purrs and applause, Gus the Theatre Cat!!
