I've just spent two very fun hours at the village pantomime.

My youngest granddaughter, nearly 4, played a fairy/flower at the beginning of the first act of Jack and the Beanstalk.

I love panto...brings out the child in everyone :-6

We seem to always employ American customs after a while. I think it time they had one of ours. An odd entertainment where women play the principal male characters and the men dress up as women and farm animals. Bad jokes and terrible puns but enough fun for adults and kids to enjoy

Oh yes!! Lots of booing and hissing and "oh no you don't." And then the audience joining in the singing before the last scene.

Yes, Snowfire, it's a brilliant custom that should be adopted everywhere.

Yes, seriously, I was all of a quiver, especially when she was in the middle of her flower dance and saw her dad and waved like mad to him :-6
