WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A delightful twist on a classic Grimm's fairy tale is revealed in the new musical Sleeping Beauty Wakes, by Brendan Milburn, Rachel Sheinkin, and Valerie Vigoda. The musical features the indie pop/rock sensation GrooveLily onstage with both hearing and deaf actors in this loose adaptation of the tale of a beautiful young princess who, cursed by a spiteful fairy, pricks her finger on a spinning wheel needle on her 16th birthday and promptly falls asleep for 100 years.
But is the heroine of Sleeping Beauty Wakes a fictional character from another time and place or is her story the product of fitful dreams at a real, modern sleep disorder clinic? This beauty seems to have a problem getting to sleep, not sleeping too much. But when sleep finally comes, her dreams take her and the audience on a journey to discover what it means to be truly awake. Jeff Calhoun directs and choreographs this co-production from Center Theatre Group and Deaf West Theatre.

Sleeping Beauty Wakes, the new co-production by Deaf West Theater and the Center Theater Group, is neither a conventional play nor a musical. It is however, a true theatrical experience -- a work of art, talent, and humor in which the combination of deaf and speaking actors feels completely organic.
The book, by Tony Award winner Rachel Sheinkin, is derived in part from the classic fairy tale. Princess Rose (enacted and signed by Alexandria Wailes, voiced and sung by Valerie Vigoda) has been born with a curse over her head: A spiteful fairy (Deanne Bray, voiced and sung by Erika Amato), furious that she had not been deemed pretty enough to be invited to Rose's christening, commands that a [...]
