The English Panto tradition is one of my absolute favorite things in the world. When we knew we would be in London at the right time of the year, one of the first things I did was book tickets. We were in luck that the Wimbledon Theatre, not far from where we were staying, was showcasing Snow White this season.
Charlotte has been to a few play in a live theater with her school and so has heard all the rules of sitting still, not talking during the show, and definitely no food or drinks in the theater.
Then we took her to panto and all those rules went out the window.

Charlotte was on the edge of her seat through the first part, then shushed me as I shouted at the show’s baddie, Snow White’s stepmother. When I explained that it was okay to interact in this show she really got into the action and was quickly yelling “oh no it isn’t!” in all the right places.
Though I think both girls thoroughly enjoyed the show, perhaps their favorite part was the intermission ice cream.
