It was funny, fast paced and well acted (not something usually associated with panto). I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Gayle .. how can you say good acting 'not usually associated with panto' !! All of the characters have to be multi-talented.. sing, deliver comedy lines, project in a way like no other theatre presentations, move your body to the music, keep your cool constantly to all the ad-libs that other members of the cast throw at you and above all be believable to all those kids that come to watch.
At the final walkdown, children are not critical of your performance, the hero gets the cheers and the villain the boos. If this happens, then you have played the character well.
It's difficult 'cause you have to be at one with the audience 100% and this calls for very specialised talent.
