What to expect
Sleeping Beauty magically comes to life in this adaptation of the timeless classic featuring multi-award-winning voice talent Barbara Rosenblat and Georgia Lee Schultz as Aurora.
On the birth of Princess Aurora, an evil fairy places a curse on her and declares that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will die by pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. To protect her from the evil spell, the king agrees to place Aurora in the care of three spirited good fairies who live in a cottage in the woods. One of the fairies conjures a spell so Aurora will fall into a deep sleep instead, to be awakened only by a kiss from her true love.
This dramatized version of Sleeping Beauty features a full cast of beloved characters accompanied by original music and sound effects.
Critics Review
-
“Barbara Rosenblat brings her inimitable vocal energy and joy to every project, and this crisp production with original music is no exception. As with all good fairy tales, the fairies get the best lines, and Rosenblat, Noelle Dupuis, and Ellin Wallin have a wonderful time bickering and bantering as the three buzzing, bee-sized fairies…Rosenblat’s over-the-top New York accent will have adults and children laughing out loud while listening to this age-old story.”

“A classic story retold in a fun and engaging way by the excellent team at Voices in the Wind…The cast did an excellent job with this story. The voice of Tormaleen, performed by Barbara Rosenblat, is an exceptional standout…The sound design and music also mesh very well with the story…A fun story that is worth listening to with the whole family.”

“When it comes to turning fairy tales into audio dramas, Voices in the Wind Audio Theatre is one of the best. Over the years, they have re-imagined many classic tales as full-length audio features…Their newest release of Sleeping Beauty will be [a] treat.”
