For those of you outside of the UK who don't know what a "panto" is, then the British christmas musical tradition has not spread to your part of the world. Tickets are on sale for a Cinderella theatrical production being staged in Wimbledon in December featuring Torchwood's John Barrowman.
This show is being put on by Clear Channel. I'm not suprised those bastards are getting into the panto business, since we know Clear Channel is always working hard to insure that all forms of media are entertaining to strictly five-year-olds. But hey, it is your chance to see JB in the flesh (although he probably won't be showing too much skin) and should be fun for the tiny tikes. Here's some pre- Captain Jack footage of JB singing and dancing that should whet your appetite. I wear size 12 shoes so I have absolutely no shot of getting to dance with Prince Barrowman at the ball.

I'm 20 and I like pantos, in fact people who are not familar with pantos a missing out not benifitting. They're all good campy fun (besides REAL pantos appeal to more than just 5 year olds as they are chock full of innuendo). You don't need to be so cynical.
Sorry, if there truly is some good double entendre in it I guess we are missing out here in the US. I am admittedly quite cynical about anything that has to do with christmas however.
Thanks for your comment.
