Christmas pantomime at Milton Keynes Theatre with Alexandra Burke as Carabosse, Christopher Biggins as The Diva of Dreams and Sooty and Sweep.
Sleeping Beauty runs at Milton Keynes Theatre from Saturday 5 December 2026 to Sunday 10 January 2027. It's the 2026/27 pantomime for the venue, put on by Crossroads Pantomimes, who call themselves the world's biggest pantomime producer and were behind last year's Goldilocks and the Three Bears at the same theatre.
The cast is a mix of West End, TV, and panto regulars. Alexandra Burke takes the role of the wicked fairy Carabosse; she's sold more than six million records since winning The X Factor and has appeared in West End productions of The Bodyguard, Sister Act and Chicago. Christopher Biggins plays The Diva of Dreams, and he's a veteran of more than 60 years of panto. Richard Cadell, presenter of The Sooty Show and a former illusionist, brings along Sooty and Sweep. Natalie Chua plays Sleeping Beauty, and Ceri Dupree is Queen Passionella.
