Forget all you know about Sleeping Beauty. In this epic new musical reimagining by Andrew Seok (writer of The Man With The Golden Heart, Unravelled, Echoes) Rosamund does not hide, wait for a Prince, or accept her fate. She rewrites her story and embarks on a treacherous quest to break the curse once and for all.

Sleeping Beauty as we all know her, just… sleeps. That’s the original story – she sleeps and waits for a Prince to save her.

ROSAMUND – A New Musical breathes life into an outdated story. Drawing on the witty humour of modern Disney animated films and dramatic melodies in the style of Les Misérables, Andrew Seok’s (The Man With The Golden Heart) ‘Rosamund’ delivers laughter, tears, and a revamped narrative that nods to the past while embracing the future.
