Tom Fletcher has released a stunning music video to accompany the groundbreaking release of The Musical Edition of his hit novel ‘The Christmasaurus’.
The video is based on the true story of teenager Lily Rice, who is the first European female to perform a backflip in a wheelchair.
Lily accomplished the feat in Cardiff after 6 hours of practicing.
Lily, who stars in the video alongside Tom has a condition called hereditary spastic paraplegia, which causes rigidity and tightness in the muscles of the lower body. She now hopes to take part in the Wheelchair Motocross Championship in California next year.
The Musical Edition of ‘The Christmasaurus’ includes both the novel and a brand new 14 track CD. Released this week, the book and CD package marks the very first time an author has written a soundtrack to their novel.
The tracks, all written and performed by Tom, are accompanied by a full orchestra, alongside solos from Giovanna Fletcher, Carrie Hope-Fletcher – and Santa Claus! Throughout the story are prompts that tell you when to press play, with full lyrics included so readers can sing along too.
Harry Judd, Matt Willis, his wife Giovanna Fletcher and his sister Carrie Hope Fletcher will all be appearing alongside Tom in The Christmasaurus stage show, which arrives at the Eventim Apollo London for a special Christmas spectacular, for a strictly limited run from 21 – 28 December 2017.

Featuring the all new songs, ‘The Christmasaurus – Live’ is directed by Derek Bond and has been adapted for stage by Miranda Larson. The stage show will feature sleigh bells and singing elves, Santa Claus and flying reindeer, music and magic. It’s a tale about adventure, family, friendship and discovering that the impossible might just be possible.
‘The Christmasaurus’ is also being turned into an animated feature film, directed by Michael Gracey who has recently directed the highly anticipated movie ‘The Greatest Showman On Earth’ starring Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Michelle Williams.
