A beloved Vancouver holiday tradition returns as Metro Theatre presents Sleeping Beauty, a traditional British pantomime filled with music, laughter, larger-than-life characters, and plenty of audience participation. The show hits the stage from December 4 to January 3, 2027.
Written and directed by Shel Piercy, Sleeping Beauty brings the classic fairy tale to life with a distinctly British panto twist. Audiences can expect dazzling sets, extravagant costumes, original songs, high-energy dance numbers, and a vibrant live band, all wrapped up in a fast-paced, family-friendly theatrical adventure.
Returning to the Metro Theatre stage is audience favourite Victor Hunter as the Dame, bringing plenty of wit, mischief, and outrageous comedy to this year’s production. Choreographer Shelley Stewart Hunt and music director Carlina Dykstra pull it all together. And, of course, no Metro Theatre pantomime would be complete without a scene-stealing dancing camel.
Metro Theatre’s pantomimes were recognized with the OVATION! Audience Choice Award for Outstanding Panto for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025).
Tickets to Sleeping Beauty are available through Metro Theatre.
