00:00 (audience cheering)

00:03 - Hi, my name is Pegasus and I'm head of the Royal Guard.

00:08 So say, "Hi, Pegasus!"

00:10 - Hi, Pegasus!

00:11 - It's really lovely to see you all here today.

00:14 I am head of the Royal Guard,

00:16 and some people refer to me as a unicorn,

00:18 a mule, or a donkey.

00:22 But I am none of those things.

00:23 I am, in fact, a stallion.

00:25 So repeat after me.

00:27 I am not a horse.

00:29 What am I?

00:30 - Stallion!

00:32 - How does it feel to be coming back to the Lens studio this year

00:35 after a fantastic run last year with The Little Mermaid?

00:38 - Very excited.

00:39 Yeah, very exciting.

00:40 It's a great space to work in, and yeah, just really, really--

00:44 - This is my first time, so I'm super excited to be at the Lens.

00:47 - (laughs)

00:48 Yeah, Leah Rapunzel,

00:51 how did you get involved this year with Kurticle?

00:54 - Well, you have some auditions

00:56 looking for some professional people,

00:58 and luckily, you liked me.

01:01 (laughter)

01:04 - No, actually, we like you.

01:06 (laughter)

01:08 - Yeah, no, yeah.

01:10 (laughter)

01:11 - I meant to be.

01:12 - The fabulous Josh.

01:13 - The one and only.

01:15 - As Pegasus, the stallion.

01:17 - Thank you very much.

01:18 Not a horse, nor a pony, a stallion.

01:20 - What, you took last year out from Kurticle.

01:23 - Yes.

01:24 - How is it to be back in the fold?

01:25 - Well, it's fantastic.

01:27 I love to be back in Panther, it keeps me busy,

01:29 but the year before, I was a fairy,

01:32 and so being a horse is a little bit of a demotion from a fairy,

01:36 so I feel like maybe Charlotte's trying to say something

01:38 about the fact that I need to not take these breaks

01:41 so that I'm able to always be there,

01:43 and that maybe I'll work myself up to princess one year.

01:47 Fingers crossed.

01:48 (laughter)

01:49 - And Charlotte, as the one who runs all of this,

01:53 runs the show, how are they shaping up?

01:56 - Well, I mean, no, they're doing amazing.

01:59 I've got an amazing team, amazing cast,

02:02 so they're all slush, yeah, lush,

02:05 right down from the oldest to the five-year-old.

02:09 - Witch.

02:10 - Oh yeah, yeah, so all good, thank you.

02:13 - And you want to give us a quick sell,

02:14 what are the details of the show, when's it on,

02:16 and how do you get tickets?

02:17 - So 19th to the 27th of December in the Lens Studio,

02:21 which is inside the Guildhall,

02:23 and if you go to the Guildhall website,

02:25 you can get your tickets there.
