A Virtual Grapevine Xmas Panto?

[Mrs Dobby]

Hi Gang,

Inspired as I was by Jennie's posts the other day about her performing in Panto this past week (Alladin) I was wondering whether we should have a bit of banter doing our own Online Pantomime?

First off we'd need to decide a suitably GYO related Panto to do, may I suggest either Jack and the Beanstalk or Mother Goose, as they both have at least a passing GYO theme in the title at least!

As for cast, well after some of the posts by NTG and Snadger recently perhaps they'd be suitable for the Ugly Sisters?

So come on all, lets get into the spirit of things and see what we can come up with! Oh yes we will!! Oh no we wont!! Oh yes we will!

[Lesley Jay]

Oh NO we won't!!!

How about LJ Twanky

[Lesley Jay]

Thank you very much Nick!!

lovely idea

Can I be in it please?
I love panto; played the witch in Cinderella once at school , did my own makeup aged 10 and frightened all the smalls. Wrote a panto a few years ago - Wobbin Hood, which was performed at the local labour club (Maid Marion had a lisp!) Robin and Marion got divorced during rehearsals; Friar Tuck found better things to do on the night, and I wrote, produced and acted in it (unintentionally) I have some experience!

If it is Jack and Beanstalk can I be the cow please - at least I can sit down then!
Who is going to be the beanstalk? Will Little Weed be in it, and Bill and Ben?

can i be a chicken?

[nick the grief]

Well,

I've got me best frock out ..... when do we start?

[Alison]

Sounds great fun, any parts left or can I paint the scenary?

[madderbat]

parts left

We haven't got Jack or the Giant yet, let alone Bill and Ben and Little Weed.
Which would you like?

[Alison]

Am too tall for little weed and doesn't Jack have to wear tights - really not sure if the world is ready for that! - so suppose it'll have to be the giant or is that a role for one of the guys?

[madderbat]

No sexism please!
Of course you can be the giant, or her husband!
Him outdoors wants to be one of the dwarfs -he's good at Grumpy

[yoanbob]

bob wants to be the magic bean

[nick the grief]

Better than a Haz Bean I guess

[Shortie]

Oh Nick.... I love the outfit... nicely finished off with the wellies!

I suppose with the username 'Shortie' it rules me out from being the beanstalk!

[kirsty b]

I do like those tights Nick. Tell me where you got them and I'll never go near the place!
Is there going to be a wicked witch in this panto?
