Chicken bald back

This term I have been spending an hour on a Wednesday afternoon at the boys school reading with class 2 (year 2) and had a great time!

 

Every year the whole school (80 odd - some odder than others !) go to the panto at The Oxford Playhouse (we do have to pay tho!) and this year, as a thank you for the reading, I got an invitation to join them all as their guest

 

I am unbelieveably and disproportionally excited; its got to be 35 years since I saw a panto I havn't told the boys yet; will just hang around school tomorrow on the pretext of waving them off!

 

Wehey!!

 

PS Is anyone else going to a panto? And if so, which/where/who with(as in who is in it not accompanying!! )

I'm goimg to the panto in the New Year with my mum, we're taking my two eldest boys for the first time. It's been years since I've been to the panto.

 

It's Jack & The Beanstalk in the New Theatre in Cardiff. Julian Clary is in it, quite looking forward to seeing him.

 

Our school has a panto come to the school. It's Aladdin this year. Always seems to be a big hit.

 

Hope you enjoy yourself!

I'm going on 4th January but it's a local theatre group, not a big one. They put on a panto for one week every year and it's brilliant, I will recognise a lot of the cast as they're mostly teenagers who take part in the local Music Festival and other things. I never went to a pantomime as a child, but I absolutely love it.

 

All together now ... 'he's BEHIND you'!

Aww Debs, there's mean of him. You should just go. My dad is going on a different day and taking my gran, she likes to sit in the stalls, whereas we're sitting in the cheap seats right up in the gods

 

A friend went the other day & said was good although some of the things Julian Clary says are a bit more innuendo laden than usual. My grampy's niece went & apparently she said it wasn't suitable for children I'm guessing most kids wouldn't understand what he's talking about.

We go every Boxing Day to the matinee in cambridge. This year it's robin hood.

 

However our panto never has its behind you I was most disappointed the first time I went, still good but I would like an ITS BEHIND YOU. there that's better lol

I think you should speak to Trading Standards - it's not a proper panto if there isn't at least one of those.

It adds to the fun..........it's behind you audience participation.

 

Have been to panto for years I would miss this too
