There are many Pantomimes. It is a tradition at Christmas that professional performers and armature's alike put on pantos. Here is one that was shot for TV, Jack and the Bean Stalk, It gives an idea of what to expect, but the only real way to enjoy a panto is either be in it or watch it live and get caught up in the atmosphere. However, If you ask CJ, the only way to enjoy it is to be somewhere else!
It seems that when it comes to telling fairy stories America got Disney and England got Pantomimes!
Someone has already done the work for us and the video clips run in sequence so you should get to "enjoy!" the whole thing!

This is hilarious! I would love to see one in person. My kids would love to BE in one.
It is funny that not many Brits apretiate it. I suppose when you are brought up with it, it is "just another panto"
My favourite bit in this is the dame hitting jack with the spade. The person playing the dame, is famous for that kind of homour. It gets me how real it looks.
