This script includes a 100-year-and-20-minute interval, but that certainly doesn’t mean it’s a snooze.
When the wicked Carabosse curses Princess Aurora on her naming day, King Roland goes into overdrive trying to protect her, Queenie, the Dame, gets wrapped up in present preparation, and Gerald the Herald leads one of the daftest pieces of audience participation you’ll ever do.
There’s also a fabulous comedy set piece with an ever-enlarging handkerchief, a number of cameo roles, and lots of company scenes to keep your Ensemble busy.
Wake up to your next panto script!
Cast Size: 10 Principal Characters, plus 3 Supporting Roles and Ensemble

Sleeping Beauty Pantomime Script Excerpt
GERALD THE HERALD has been talking to the AUDIENCE. The KING enters.
KING: My loyal subjects, it gives me great pleasure to be here on this most wonderful day. The Queen and I… (He looks for QUEENIE but she isn’t there) Hang on, where’s the Queen?
GERALD: I’m not sure, Your Majesty.
KING: Stay here and I’ll go and get her. (He exits)
GERALD: Hopefully he gets back soon, ’cause the fairies will be arriving any second now.
There is a magical sound. FAIRY SILK and FAIRY CASHMERE appear.
GERALD: I didn’t mean literally any second now!
FAIRY SILK: Hello, everyone! We’re here for the naming ceremony. Where is the baby?
GERALD: That’s Fairy Silk. She’s soft, smooth, and always looks gorgeous.
FAIRY CASHMERE: And where are the King and Queen?
GERALD: That’s Fairy Cashmere. She’s smart and warm, and there’s nothing woolly about her.
FAIRY SILK: We can’t name the Princess if she isn’t here.
QUEENIE: (Entering) Sorry I’m late. I had a nightmare choosing what to wear. First, I was going to wear some cowboy chic, but I realised that was just ranch dressing. And my astronomy dress wouldn’t fit properly; I kept mooning at everyone!
The KING enters.
KING: Queenie, have you got the baby?
QUEENIE: No, I thought you had her!
FAIRY CASHMERE: We can’t do the naming if we haven’t got the baby!
An evil chord sounds as CARABOSSE enters. PLUM follows carrying the baby princess.
KING: Carabosse, what are you doing here?
CARABOSSE: Are you looking for this? (Pointing at the baby in PLUM’S arms)
PLUM: Why would they be looking for me?
CARABOSSE: (Rolling her eyes) They’re not looking for you; they’re looking for the baby! It’s the naming ceremony!
PLUM: But I’ve already got a name; I don’t need another one!
CARABOSSE: You’ve got plenty of names: idiot, fool, clown, idiot!
KING: You said idiot twice.
CARABOSSE: He’s really stupid!
