Sleeping Beauty: An Audible Original Drama by Marty Ross

adventurous lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

5.0

Marty Ross’s reimagining of this famous fairy tale story draws on the worlds of folktale and the Brothers Grimm, while the LSO's specially-commissioned new recording, conducted by Gavin Sutherland, weaves through the drama like a rich and majestic film score.

I listened to this on Audible. I wanted to listen to this because I like the Disney movie and I like fairy tales. When I first started listening to this, I thought to myself,”This is different from the Disney movie. I don’t know if I’m going to like this audio drama or not.” When I got to the middle of this audio drama, I thought about bailing on this book because I didn’t like the dream sequences between Aurora and Peter that much and I felt like it made the story drag but I decided to go ahead and finish this drama so I could find out how it ends and I’m glad I decided to finish listening because I liked the ending. This is different from the Disney movie but I had fun listening to this and it had beautiful music in it.
