Pantomime

Pantomime

Pantomime is a type of musical comedy stage production designed for family entertainment, generally combining broad and topical humour and cross-dressing actors with a story based on a well-known fairy tale, fable or folk tale. Pantomime is a participatory form of theatre developed in England in the 18th century in which the audience is encouraged and expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and to shout out phrases to the performers.
