This show is an entirely new concept for ballet lovers as they can experience the story of Sleeping Beauty like never before in a dazzling ballet dance and light show, a dance show that combines classical ballet with modern technology, using LED costumes that glow in the dark.
From the start the show is mesmerising as the dancers are bedecked in lights, either white or coloured over their normal tutus and costumes.
The show tells the enduring tale of Sleeping Beauty where a cursed Princess is awakened by her Prince with a kiss. The story depicts how a Princess is born, an evil fairy is snubbed, and a tragic curse befalls a Kingdom. A last-minute intervention from the most powerful fairy of them all proves to be a saving grace as all the people are put to sleep for one hundred years as they await the Prince who will lift the curse. This all comes to life in beautiful visual splendour, as perfect pirouettes and gravity-defying leaps cast a kaleidoscope of colours across the stage.
Classical ballet and modern technology have come together to create an artistic masterpiece like nothing before, where exquisite dancers actually light up the stage with glittering routines and glow-in-the-dark costumes.
It is a breathtakingly beautiful production that exceeds tradition, taking the audience on a voyage beyond everything they’ve ever seen in ballet previously.
This is a superb show, in which I was fully immersed, a sensational show of shimmering leaps and beautiful ballet postures.
This was a one night performance but catch Ballet of Lights, Cinderella, if you can from 13 February – 11 June 2026 at Playhouse Liverpool Tickets available at https://feverup.com/en/liverpool/
