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.
