A Pantomime in the British style! And to be very clear: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MIMING IN BRITISH PANTOMIMES. None whatsoever. Imagine American musical comedy with vaudeville routines. There are tuneful songs, funny jokes, and lots and lots of audience participation. So bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring the whole family and come and have fun! Fun, Laughter, and Happily Ever After.
