What is a pantomime?
Wikipedia fact (It's on Wikipedia so you know it's true):
"Pantomime . . . is a type of musical comedy stage production designed for family entertainment, generally combining gender-crossing actors and topical humour with a story more or less based on a well-known fairy tale . . .
Pantomime is a participatory form of theatre developed in England in the 18th century, in which the audience is encouraged and expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers."
Pantomimes are a holiday tradition.
Ticket Prices Vary. Purchase a seat wherever you want. I am in seat AA7 in the balcony. (Note: I had trouble completing the purchase on my computer. I had to use my smartphone.)
