Sleeping Beauty
We thoroughly enjoyed the panto of Sleeping Beauty. It was just about the goofiest thing we have ever experienced, but it was so funny. The panto basically followed the entire story of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, but instead of the three fairies as her guardians, Briar Rose was adopted by Nanny Nicehands who also had a son, Muddles. There was a huge amount of audience participation: singing, boo-hissing at the wicked witch, general yelling, and answering back to the characters. There are stock classic lines which I am assuming are characteristic to every panto. It was very colorful and the comic team of Nanny (an old man dressed as a woman) and Muddles was very funny. In one scene, they were making a cake for Briar Rose's 18th birthday and ingredients were all over the place. They were throwing eggs to one another and one "slipped" into the audience and Craig caught it! It turned out to be an empty eggshell, but very funny. I think one of my favorite parts was a song sung by the witch about how no one likes a 40-year-old fairy. The words were so funny.
