**Overview** Well as christmas draws ever closer, I thought it would be a good idea to do a review on pantomime (Oh no it wouldn't!) I love pantomime, it's surprisingly brilliant as I will try to explain....later :) **What is Pantomime (or Panto)** It is a christmas play, no it's the christmas play, set for the family; slapstick for the children and err a great deal of smutty innuendo's. Plus there's buffoonery, song, dance, acting and a man...dressing up as a woman with women dressing up as men pretending to be women (Its strange, I know but it does happen at my local panto) Normally the plots have absolutely NOTHING to do with christmas, ...

...Go through the looking glass that is. Who? Alice of course! Let me start at the beginning. I ponder the question 'when does a musical play, aimed at entertaining and amusing children and adults, become a pantomime?' Perhaps it is all about tradition, the usual run-of-the-mill Mother Goose, or Jack and The Beanstalk etc.? I hope not, because I have found a delightful musical play, showing at the New End Theatre, in Hampstead, which seems to have all the fun of a pantomime and yet breathes a breath of fresh air into the concept of family theatre. Stephen Daltry, who has produced this masterpiece, is already a successful composer in his own ... Read the complete review
