Panto is as much a part of Christmas in Britain as turkey, tinsel and mince pies.
A woman was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after she was hit by a car in the 6800 block of San Pedro Avenue just before 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Kat B as Thomas the Cat and Kandaka Moore as Dick Whittington perform during a photocall for Hackney Empire's 25th pantomime in London, Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024. Anyone who thinks Britons are buttoned up hasn't been to a panto. Audiences happily shed their inhibitions – cheering, singing, hissing the villain, shouting “He’s behind you!” to warn the hero.
“The pantomime dame is the beating heart of the show,” said Simon Sladen, curator of theater and performance at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. “She is that engine that drives it. Firstly with pace and anarchy, but also a little bit of sauce on the side.” “Wicked” star Jonathan Bailey starred alongside a young Nicholas Hoult in a production of “Peter Pan.” Hoult also appeared in “Mother Goose” as a child, and says he would happily do another, as they’re “really fun.”
