'Sleeping Beauty,' live
Ballet West continues its run of the reinvented version of "The Sleeping Beauty." It tells the story of Princess Aurora, the Good Fairies and trying to outlast the evil curse. It's told with enough comedy, pathos and magic to keep children interested. As always, the ballet ends with a fabulous wedding, attended not only by Puss in Boots and the brilliant Bluebird of past productions, but also by Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, Beauty and the Beast, and the Frog Prince. The characters in attendance were envisioned by artistic director Adam Sklute as part of his homage to the fairy-tale world.
