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

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.
 
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.

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!

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".
 
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).

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.
