THEY’RE an award-winning double act, a festive treat and they’re coming back: CBeebies megastar Justin Fletcher will once again team up with Paul Morse for Reading’s pantomime this Christmas.

The duo will be returning to The Hexagon for a new take on Sleeping Beauty, following on the success of Jack and the Beanstalk last Christmas.

And the pair cannot wait.

Justin, who was awarded an MBE for his services to children’s television, said: “I am absolutely delighted to be returning to the wonderful Hexagon Theatre this year in Sleeping Beauty, and performing alongside Paul. We have such a great time performing to Reading audiences, and I know that this year is going to be truly magical.”

Paul, who has twice won Best Dame in the UK Panto Fan Awards, said: “I’m so thrilled to be back in Reading for my 10th year this Christmas. Looking forward to a spectacular show for a very special year.”

The show tells what happens when the wicked fairy Carabosse places a spell that causes a princess to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into an enchanted sleep. Justin, Paul and their gang are tasked with rescuing her from the magical slumber, with much silliness, fun and adventure along the way.

The show will once again be produced by Imagine Theatre for The Hexagon, continuing a partnership that started with a previous production of Sleeping Beauty back in 2010.

Sarah Cox from The Hexagon said the team were “absolutely delighted” with the continuing relationship.

“We are thrilled to be able to welcome back our favourite duo Justin Fletcher and Paul Morse to this year’s fabulous Christmas Panto – Sleeping Beauty. We can’t wait to see what mischief these two will get up to,” she said.

Tickets for the show, which runs from Saturday, December 9, through to Sunday, January 7, are already on sale and cost from £14, with group discounts available.
