I was just sharing my bit of excitement as I've not seen any shows as of late. <BR/><BR/>...pantomime here is when men wear spandex, paint their faces white, do not speak and pretend to be stuck in boxes. ...sadly, they tend to get beat up a lot. Or, maybe it is spelled a different way. This art form was much more popular when i was kid. Mimes are not very well respected or tolerated in the US. Not sure why. Maybe it is that box thing.mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792716037555018912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-1169730544364922542007-01-25T13:09:00.000+00:002007-01-25T13:09:00.000+00:00Pantomime = a form of theatrical spectacle common ...Pantomime = a form of theatrical spectacle common in England during the Christmas season, generally adapted from a fairy tale and including stock character types who perform songs and dances, tell jokes, etc. <BR/><BR/>So there you go! To add to that definition, I should add that panto is usually aimed at children (apart from gay versions, perhaps!)And panto does seem to be purely endemic to the UK - a Brit tradition! When I told my hubbie about it he'd never heard of it- they certainly don't have anything like that in Brazil! Shame!<BR/><BR/>And Matty, I think that kind of thing would be a touch...strong...in a panto. I mean they do usually involve slapstick and people making fools of themselves but that's WAY too sordid! And not one for the kiddies. No room for golden showers scenes in "Cinderella" I'm afraid (well unless it's the X-rated homo version).<BR/><BR/>Steve - so is Leamington Spa that dull? Get yourself to the Black Cap, pronto! Your girlfriend might be a bit suspicious though.<BR/><BR/>Minge - it's true. But when you say "doorstep" it actually involved a 45-50 minute tube ride for me. That's the equivalent of halfway from London to York on GNER! Still one must put up with these things sometimes...Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-1169724521135863352007-01-25T11:28:00.000+00:002007-01-25T11:28:00.000+00:00Oh, honey, what a hoot!You're lucky having so much...Oh, honey, what a hoot!<BR/><BR/>You're lucky having so much on your doorstep.Mingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690119444596624935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-1169708937355406322007-01-25T07:08:00.000+00:002007-01-25T07:08:00.000+00:00Sounds a darn sight more fun that the pubs around ...Sounds a darn sight more fun that the pubs around here...!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-1169688602570885342007-01-25T01:30:00.000+00:002007-01-25T01:30:00.000+00:00Oh, that sounds fun!!!!

I was thinking that a "panto" was a pantomime. ...what does "panto" mean?!?!?<BR/><BR/>Nothing that exciting going on here. <BR/><BR/>Tho, I saw a crazy old man try to piss on this scary prostitute. She totally went off on him. Both funny and tragic. One never knows what one might find in the tenderloin.mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792716037555018912noreply@blogger.com
