The show also features brand new classical arrangements of modern day pop hits, all performed in The Opera Boys inimitable style.

Jason said: “Somebody said to me on my Facebook fan page, 'it's been ages since you've toured'. I thought 'no way, it was last year wasn't it? Anyway, long story short, they were right, it was years ago! I just got fooled cos I've been on tour doing musicals and the last tour is repeated on Dave ja Vu 13 times a day! So I’ve been putting some stuff together, looking at my life and how it's changed over the years, how the world has changed and how my parents haven't changed a bit! It's going to be a great tour and I can't wait to see you there.”

With beautiful vocal arrangements, spectacular close part harmony and a great line in humour, The Opera Boys have been delighting audiences all over the world with their unique show combining beautiful, powerful and emotional music with funny, engaging and light-hearted entertainment.

The King and Queen are throwing a party to celebrate the birth of their beautiful daughter Princess Aurora. Everyone is invited - everyone apart from Narcissus, a cruel and wicked Fairy. When Narcissus discovers she hasn’t been invited to the birthday celebrations she gate-crashes and curses the baby Princess! Its left up to the good Fairies, Bluebell, Primrose and Tulip to try and save the day! Narcissus’ dark magic is so powerful that the good Fairies can’t stop it but they can alter it; rather than die by pricking her fingers on a spinning wheel Aurora will fall into a deep sleep and can only be saved by a true love’s kiss.

Sixteen years later, as Aurora is getting ready for her birthday party Narcissus arrives disguised as a kind old lady, and tempts Aurora away.

Aurora is taken to an unexplored room in the castle where she sees a spinning wheel for the first time and is so intrigued she pricks her finger, falling asleep instantly.

Bluebell, Primrose and Tulip cannot bear to tell the King & Queen what has happened and so they use their magic again and send the whole kingdom into a deep sleep.

What will become of the sleeping princess? Will she be left to sleep forever?

Will a handsome prince save her before the sun sets in a hundred years?

Can true love save the day?

With colourful sets, fairytale costumes, lively songs and dance numbers this adaptation of Sleeping Beauty is guaranteed to keep you awake!

EARLY BOOKING RECOMMENDED

Saturday 24th March | 8.30pm | £12.50 Colin Cole, Nick Revell, Sean McLoughlin, Phil Dinsdale (MC) Colin Cole: One of the biggest names in Australian comedy (he's 6ft 7in), who has appeared on practically every show down under. Having conquered the US and Canada with his fast and furious delivery, mixing gags and observation, he has now turned his thoughts of global comedy domination on the UK. Nick Revell: Circuit veteran who’s been performing stand-up since 1980 and was nominated for the Perrier Award in 1987. British Comedy Award winner who also wrote for TV hit series Drop The Dead Donkey and Not The Nine O’clock News. ‘Revell makes you laugh and think; a rare and cherishable combination these days’ Scotsman Sean McLoughlin honest, insightful and inappropriate with one great punch line after another.

He’s supported the likes of Ricky Gervais, Katherine Ryan and Doc Brown on tour, and made appearances on Russell Howard’s Stand-Up Central.

Phil Dinsdale: Jesterlarf regular Big Phil Dinsdale – the ex steel worker delivers his usual brand of warm and witty audience banter.

Saturday 26th May | 8.30pm | £12.50 Jeff Innocent: Jeff is simply one of the best acts in the country and has been for the last ten years – his original, unique and razor sharp wit is unrivalled.

He’s won the Time Out Comedy Award and Comedians Comic of the year.

‘It should be made law that every British citizen must go and see Jeff Innocent - he’s that good… it’s like Alan Bennett writing an episode of Minder’ Independent Sean Percival: Black country funnyman (Dudley to be precise) whose down to earth brand of comedy is the antipathy of political correctness gone mad, Sean's performed all over the world including gigs to entertain the troops in Afghanistan.

Colin Chadwick: Rising star and Irishman Colin is quickly establishing himself as one of the best new joke writers on the circuit. He was shortlisted for the RTE New Comedy Awards and the BBC Radio New Comedy Awards in 2013 and is a regular contributor to Radio 4 Extra’s NewsJack. ‘His quirky punch lines come thick and fast’ Broadway Baby Clint Edwards: Cheeky banter from the Rhod Gilbert radio show co-host who’s a talented wordsmith and joke teller. ‘All pizzazz and charm’ Wales On Line.
