A Fairy Tale, Updated Without Ambien
*By CHARLES ISHERWOOD
Published: May 23, 2011
"Chronic insomniacs may well view the heroine of “Sleeping Beauty Wakes,” a new musical at the McCarter Theater Center here, with a ravenous envy. She’s been dozing peacefully for almost a millennium, without so much as a milligram of pharmaceutical assistance. As in the original fairy tale, tweaked in this modern update, when she emerges from that long slumber she finds herself staring into the eyes of a love-struck swain, not groping for coffee to dispel the dim haze of an Ambien hangover.
