computer Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'm not doing panto this year but local ones are doing Aladdin and Snow White (both of which have already started a 70-odd run until 16th Jan ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 My local venue (Clwyd Theatr Cymru) are doing "Sleeping Beauty : The Rock 'n' Roll Panto" this year. The "rock 'n' roll pantos" are something of a tradition there these days - they started doing them a fair few years back, initially as studio productions while a Dickens Christmas musical (or something similar) played on the main stage, then moving them into the main house in place of the Dickens stuff, and they go down a storm with people coming from fair and wide to see them. It's already been open for a couple of weeks, and it runs until the end of January. I did a few days' work on the fit-up in November, and as per usual I'll probably end up board-op'ing some shows over the holidays to cover leave for the full-time staff. Don't mind too much, though - it's not often that I can get from a place of work to my house in less than 15 minutes ; and they're damned good shows, chock-full of classic 60s, 70s and 80s tunes! Other than that, this year for me is mercifully a panto-free zone! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb12345 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Peter Pan at Hazlitt in Maidstone (thanks to the blue room (see JSB's advert)) Opened on 3rd Dec and running to 9th Jan... its a busy one We have probably the most hi-tech tinkerbell ever... some very clever person had the idea of using a DL1. Its all a shame we keep flying peter pan into the scenery tho! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Hmmm I go away for the day and some bugger knicks my idea for a thread! I am on the Panto trail down in Poole with Beauty and the Beast, board oping for the next 4 weeks, having looked after the LX side of the fitup last week. Now desperately thinking of reading material to keep me sane... Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I'd love to be doing panto, but 'cos we're 'high-brow' we've got Scottish Ballet in with Nutcracker. We did have Am-Drams last week doing Wizard of Oz, with real ponies and a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 From the world of Amdram I have "Babes in the wood" at the end of January to look forward too. Such a success over the last few years that they have added an extra performances. We now have the breathtakingly huge run of 5 performances.
