Han (Hannah Roberts) and Fran (Fran Cottington), both from Llandudno, will return for another panto season after making their debut at Venue Cymru last year.
The pair, who captured hearts across the UK as finalists on Britain’s Got Talent in 2025, will swap their sisterly antics for a little bit of magic this year as the Good Fairy Duo.
Their hugely successful panto debut at Venue Cymru saw them take home the UK Pantomime Association Award for Best Sisters.
Han said: “I am beyond excited to be returning to Venue Cymru this Christmas for Panto season.
“A fairy is something I have always wanted to play so this is truly special to be able to tick this off my bucket list.

“I cannot wait to entertain the audiences at Venue Cymru once again and to also be able to perform in my hometown for all my family and friends.”
Fran added: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be playing one half of the Good Fairy Duo with Han again.
“We can’t wait to work with this incredible cast and bring the Panto magic back to Llandudno for another amazing season.”
The pair will join forces to thwart the wicked Carabosse, played by returning star Corrine Cherish, known for Boogie Nights, UK tour, and Nunsense.
Royal ballet-trained Corrine, who stepped into the title role in Cinderella at Venue Cymru in 2025, said: “From glass slippers to dark spells. I’m swapping Cinderella for Carabosse this year.
“I’m so excited to be back at Venue Cymru and reunited with such a wonderful cast and crew for a little more fairytale magic, with a lot more mischief.”
Proud Welsh performer and songstress Celyn Cartwright, known for Come What May, UK tour, and The Ballad of Johnny and June, UK tour, will play the princess, alongside Mark Beauchamp as her father, the King.
The new principal cast will join the already-announced Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd, who will headline the production, as well as much-loved comedy duo John Evans and Simon Nehan.
Sleeping Beauty will once again be produced by award-winning Imagine Theatre, with a script by Tam Ryan, writer of last year’s smash hit Cinderella.
The production promises to feature a side-splitting comic, an outrageous dame, a devious baddie, spectacular musical numbers and plenty of slapstick fun for all ages.
When the wicked fairy Carabosse’s evil curse causes the Princess to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into an enchanted sleep, can anyone rescue her from the magical slumber before it is too late?
Sleeping Beauty will run at Venue Cymru between December 12 2026 and January 2 January 2027.
