Here is a favorable (4*) review of Sleeping Beauty, and mention of Liam Mower:

Re: Liam Mower
A few thoughts about Liam's performance in Plymouth last Saturday afternoon.
He was playing Carabosse and Caradoc, her son. Carabosse is a cameo role in the Grande Guinol tradition which Liam inhabited with conviction! This evil fairy (witch?) has a wonderful costume with a most fetching long coat. The role calls for powerful mime and Liam delivered this with the required sense of evil. It was the first time I had seen him play a female character.
Caradoc does have some dancing as well as mime which was most welcome. Again the costume is eye catching. These are two important characters in the fairy story that allow Liam to develop his stage craft beyond the field of dance as did Angelo in Car Man.
Liam alternates between Count Lilac, Carabosse/Caradoc and Tantrum. As far as I am aware the casting is only announced in advance for the Sadlers Wells run.
This Sleeping Beauty is very similar to Matthew Bourne's earlier production. It has a powerful visual impact which the many children in the audience loved. However, it is not one of my favourite MB productions as I find it rather contrived and tricksy.
Another rung on the ladder for Liam. Perhaps he could do pantomime one day?

Re: Liam Mower
It may be that his instagram isn't public. I thought it was, but probably not. I will try to find the photo with a public link elsewhere and post it.

Re: Liam Mower
This one is from the Instagram of the Theatre Royal Plymouth, so perhaps it will work better:

Re: Liam Mower
That Instagram link doesn't work for me either, and I do use Instagram. Either the link is incorrect or the post is private.
