The R3 Forum Panto: auditions and casting OPEN!

[Anna]

All good pantos have someone appearing ... as Himself.

And, I expect Lawrie Packer to appear!
This will go over the heads of some .... thinking I am referring to The Ashes and England, as G. Boycott, says ... whatever ... but I think she must be our Fairy Godmother .... ?

Oh Anna we are ad idem, comme toujours

Yes, Yes, but you really must learn to keep up at the back!

[amateur51]

... I think, given the castings possibilities provided by contributors here, there will be - "A Chorus of Pedants"

[antongould]

Surely being cast as the Villian is terribly unfair to Beef Oven surely it can only be Roger Wrong with SMP as his handmaiden or whatever......

As there will be An Innocence of Ingenues and a Cheeseboard of Matinee Idols.

As Ams has already been cast as " You shall go to the Ball! " Can I put in a bid for the role of Dandini? I'm awfully good at slapping my thighs in fishnet tights.

Young Service will be disappointed to be missed out again - I understand he's already approached Salmond's Independent Enterprises for the possibility of a substantial part north of the border next year..

Guardian Music Critic?

A tremendous effort, Mistress Stoppard (Drama & Sick Bay)

surely our Wodger would agree to play the role of wicked witch - especially if offered enouugh mince pies coated with real gold foil - he's quite used to being boo'd off the stage.

Whenever I see a respected actor in a panto I'm always tempted to shout "it's beneath you".
