Which character would you be.
 

It's Christmas...the Panto season.
Next Saturday we are going to see Dick Whittington at KGH.
I am looking forward to it...being such an overgrown tinlid myself.
I whoop, I shout, I boo and hiss....and generally enter into the spirit of the Panto.
This got me thinking....if you were a panto character which one would you be....and why?

I would be Aladdins mother - she is a washer woman isn't she?
Well, I have the washday red hands that all good washer women have.

So come on who would you be?

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Well I mentioned in my comment on your blog that I was usually the wicked witch when I did amateur dramatics. Typecasting... no rehearsal or acting required! mind you I also played Dorcas Lane when we did Lark Rise to Candleford... that was a bit more difficult... and a White Hole when we did a space-themed panto.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I could be an ugly sister...I have my own in built bustle...but they would have to find me some stick on warts.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I'd be the fairy godmother, they usually cast you as opposites to what you really are.....right????

Re: Which character would you be.
 

if that's the case I'd be prince charming every time :D

would prefer to be buttons though

(wouldn't mind having a go at dick's pussy either :eek:)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Widow Twanky, I realy cant say anymore without becoming course :bingobang

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I'll grab that part. Always wanted to do the wicked witch, got tired of playing the goody Principal Boy about 10 times.

"Boo! Hiss!"
"Argh shurrup, you sniveling little snot-rags or I'll mince you all up to fit in McDonald's Beefburgers!":p

Yeah ! Bring it on.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Gotta be Buttons ... My mom took me to the Hippodrome in '49 to see "Cinderella" ... I remember that she then took me to my grandad's place and I told him all about the show; esp. how I got to go onto the stage and stand next to Buttons ... my grandad died that night. Years later my mom told me she believed that he held on to life so that I could tell him about the show. He knew how I excited I was about going. Maybe ... maybe not; but I love to believe it.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

As I said Kate, no acting required...

And there's always room in any production for more than one wicked witch.

Forgot to mention earlier that I've also played a tea bag in my diverse acting career - now that really was type casting!

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Quite simple for me really no thought necessary Prince Charming:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I'd be Peter Pan, as I have never really grown up and hopefully never will..:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Usually played by a girl...

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I wanna be a tree ;)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Can I be a dog please please please:D:D:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

You are already (Less's poodle):D

Well, I think he would be great as Dick Whittington, you could be his co-star.
"Turn again Dick, but make sure you drown that cat with no claws before you head into London".

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Well that's better than being call PBs poodle, at least Less and myself obviously think alike, we both have the same opinion of you:p:p:p

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Now, now boys....i thought this would be a happy, chritmassy thread with no nastiness......OK So you boo and hiss at the pantomime villains, but not at one another, please.
Spirit of goodwill and all that.:)
And don't come with the 'she started it first Miss'....or I will have to bang all your heads together to see who gets the hardest knock(my dad always used that as a threat when we were misbehaving....only ever having the one child, I have never got to use it back....until recently).

I prefer to think of you as my rottweiller with a slight limp.

Calm down Margaret, I know I was smiling when I read her post and anything she says against Jay or myself can be taken with a pinch of sea salt!
We know she is harmless, but it would be terribly impolite to ignore her after she has put so much effort into making a fool of herself.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Well no Ba Humbug there Less:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Groove would also be Prince Charming. His popularity amongst other Accyweb members signifys this, as he's sure you would all agree.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

You could be the back end of the pantomime horse:rolleyes::D Who fancies being the front end....;)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Have never really gone for the Prince Charming type...

Find a "beast" more exciting and interesting therefore, even if I don't quite match the description, I'll go for Beauty....

Whichever end he plays, it will be full of...
Cue for a pantomime song:-

'shine you buttons with brasso only threeha'pence a tin'.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

No, No....groove you could never be Prince Charming....now if there was a pantomime with Prince Irritating, Prince Aggravating, or Prince awkward...you would get the part right away............Prince Charming, indeed. Where do you get your ideas from.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Groove thinks Margaret.P would be the wicked witch of the east.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Supergrooove for president oh panto not really a fan , ohh yes he is, oh no he isn't etc etc

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Well go on them somebodies got to do it, I'll be on curry and brussels sprouts, cabbage and beans prior to every performance:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

The trouble with Grove is he's in a Rut;)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I knew some kind soul would volunteer Jay! May I suggest a few Onion Bahji's with the curry:eek::D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

And a good helping of mushy peas...with an extra bi-carb tablet in for luck.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Anything for Groove mobertol:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

There speaks the expert ....:rolleyes:

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Yes, the front end would be jet propelled....the back end would be holding his nose I guess.

I could be Snow White(I did once dress up as Snow White and parade around Blackburn town centre collecting money for the Hospice....a long time ago)....I have a couple of white streaks in the front of my hair now.....or perhaps one of the seven dwarfs(or should that be dwarves).........I would, of course, have to be Happy....but at a pinch I could be Surly or Snarly.:)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Do you have skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony?

I always wanted to have jet black hair as a girl -had the exact opposite.

In my case it was watching Westerns that did it, wished I could have the lovely black plaits of the squaws! Mini Ha-ha eat your heart out;):D

Perhaps I could play Tiger Lily in Peter Pan -with a wig, of course!

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Where is Colin Firth when he's needed - Jane Austen for inventing Mr.Darcy....the world is full of frogs and it's all her fault.:D

We would be Princesses, who see through the Prince Charmings, need our Beasts -why are they so good at being beastly and are never there when needed....;):rolleyes::D

Am I beginning to see the charm of the seven dwarfs:eek:

You've been married how long and reckon to be snow white?
That fella of yours has one heck of alot of patience!

Re: Which character would you be.
 

My hair used to be black.......not quite jet black......yes my skin is pale....and I have a lovely red Chanel lipstick which would complete the picture.
Up until my early forties I had waist length hair too.

Over the years my hair has gone lighter with two grey Mallen streaks....and since last November I have a white flash on top of my head too....so I guess I would have to resort to a wig to play
Snow White.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Now Less..........I didn't say I am Snow White......I only said that I could be....after all Panto is not real...it is only acting.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

May be you could play Cruella then.
:hidewall:
Retlaw.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Freyja, is that you? And I thought there were only four dwarfs:confused:;):D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Maybe we could expand the list of pantomime characters to include the "forgotten" men and women who would be lurking somewhere in the background.

Like the social security fraud investigator sent to check on the young girl claiming a carers allowance for looking after seven single men with stunted growth........

...or the trading standards inspector responding to a complaint that a market trader had sold what he claimed to be "magic" beans that, when thrown through the window, had taken root and grown hundreds of feet overnight.....

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I'll be jesus .. ( pre nails) :D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I would be "Fleshcreep" the Tax collector in Jack @ Beanstalk. a spare bob or twos always handy at xmas.:D

There was also the infamous pest control officer, the people of the town refused to pay when they discovered he had illegally disposed of the rodents bodies in the local water supply.
This affected his mind so much that he later went on to be accused and convicted of child abduction.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

There are those who would say marriage is a bit like that too Margaret:rolleyes:

Re: Which character would you be.
 

It is I Loki - there were only four but I have forgotten them completely, although the gold chain they gave me is rather nice;)

My beloved Oor has still not returned, hence my outcrying of frustration - being a God he is obviously busy at the moment. I have been wearing my cloak of feathers in my quest to find him but to no avail so far. I have cried my best tears of red-gold but they fall on stony ground...

I could lend you my cloak if you need to find your hammer - but don't get any funny ideas:rolleyes::eek::D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

If you need a silly goose...:D

(Hope less doesn't read this -he seems to have had them on his mind lately:rolleyes:)

Silly Goose or did you mean Mother Goose?

I think a Mother Goose is a little perverse!

Re: Which character would you be.
 

For you Retlaw.....I could be anything you want. I will just go and blow the dust off my black stuff......and check the grip on my whip:evil:.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Sure:), Less!

Re: Which character would you be.
 

They gave you the chain:eek: According to the dwarfs, you earned every link of it;):D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Is this a private conversation or can anybody join in?? Wish I knew what the hell you two were talking about!!

Re: Which character would you be.
 

It's a little bit of Norse mythology ... goes well with Snow Whites and dwarfs .... ;)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Its called Accyweb Speak, you pick it up as you go along, what was that again:jimbo:

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Thought as much, given your interests, but didn't know Dianne was into it...

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Any thing like this.
Retlaw.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Na Widow Twanky would suit you better Retlaw:p:p

Wow Jay, just one slip of a finger as you typed that name could have had the thread moved to the 18 section, your spelling is improving.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

All in a day's work Eric, no sweat!;):D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I can't do those surprised eyebrows Retlaw......they look like they are about to fly off her face.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I'd be one of the seven dwarves, Grumpy. I've often what it's like to be Grumpy :)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I was tempted Less but thought about the work it may cause for mick and Niel:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I hope you were helped in your search however fruitless by your chariot drawn by two cats. Reward them well with this Sandinavian catfood (read the label).

Re: Which character would you be.
 

My search has not been completely fruitless -have had a few sightings;)

Should really go for Puss-in Boots.

Well I am cat MAD as you know!! (Very apt cat-chowder):D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I would like to be Cinderella. For several reasons

a. because I'm cute

b. because I'm a bit of a martyr

c. because I get Prince Charming at the end

D. because I would love to be able to sing like this....

Cecila Bartoli - La Cenerentola - Non piu mesta - YouTube

Stick with it, it is amazing.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

But, then again, perhaps I could be an arch Villain.

I would just love to be Scarpia.

"Tosca, you make me forget my God"

Ruggero Raimondi - Tosca - Va, Tosca (Te Deum) - YouTube

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Not another list-maker....am in good company!
a. Cute i. attractive, especially in a dainty way; ii. pleasingly pretty - appealing and delightful; charming. Hmmmmmm. OK!

b. Aren't we all.

c. He's really not worth it...

d. Me too! (In my dreams.):D

This year saw Aida -meet you next year in Verona for Tosca....

Re: Which character would you be.
 

It is a pretty attractive role, that of the villain but remember;

"Hell hath no fury....."!:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Oh we all know that one too well:Dask John Wayne Bobbit:eek::eek::eek:

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Oh well, it's nice to dream, but I suppose I shall probably end up with the part of the back end of the cow in "jack and the beanstalk". But be warned, anyone who mentions 'milking' is likeley to get a thick ear.

Re: Which character would you be.
 

That would be udderly stupid Bob:D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Only likely A-B ? ;):)

Re: Which character would you be.
 

The script writer.

Forty miles to London, and still no sign of Dick....or a Hyndburn councillor, now they can't stand the heat, because they're in power.

My, the Prince's balls get bigger every year....nearly as big as the whoppers Graham Jones tells about democracy on Accy Web.

Comes easily to me, comedy, with such great material to work with.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

Ya its always wonderful telling other people how to do thinks to the cheers of the masses, but when your in power making the decisions and masses turn nasty when they no longer want to share those inner secretes, they take their bat and ball home, reminds me of when I was a kid, we had one lad who had a brand new bat and ball but wanted to open the batting and bowling, we told him where to go and he didn't like it:hehetable

Re: Which character would you be.
 

So who would you cast as the cat - once the rats show up?:eek::D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

I plead, guilty, but probably insane. :D

Re: Which character would you be.
 

If you dress up like your avatar i think you'd make a perfect Ugly Sister - they had to be a bit crazy to think they had a chance of winning over soppy Prince Charming..:rolleyes::D
