We all love a good Pantomime! Why?
There is the music and songs from pop and rock songs, and even the odd novelty song. Even better: the audience always get at least one opportunity to sing along. There is always a fairy on hand to guide the hero or heroine on their way, stepping in with a little magic. And of course,…
