Shipped with USPS Media Mail An ice-skating version of Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. Robin Cousins, Rosalynn Sumners Lar Lubovitch is the choreographer for the special that stars Robin Cousins, the British skater who won the men's 1980 Olympic Gold Medal, and Rosalynn Sumners, an American who won the Silver Medal the same year in women's figure skating. Mr. Lubovitch, well known as a ballet and modern-dance choreographer, is no stranger either to fairy tales or ice choreography. Most recently, he devised the movement for the actors playing fairy-tale characters in the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical ''Into the Woods.'' And in 1984, one of the best works by the John Curry Skating Company at the Metropolitan Opera House was his ''Tilt-a-Whirl.'' It was a clever duet for Mr. Curry and Dorothy Hamill, whirling and zooming around each other against a backup group. Fun is what Mr. Lubovitch and Tom Gutteridge, the director, obviously had in mind with this ''Sleeping Beauty.'' The music is still Tchaikovsky's, drawn from his 1890 ballet choreographed by Marius Petipa, but Mr. Lubovitch is certainly not wed to Petipa as a reference point. He has come up with a Classic Comics version, compressed into less than an hour in a co-production by Anglia Television of Norwich, England, and the Boston public-TV station, WGBH.
