After spending most of the afternoon confused about your apparently very enjoyable experience, I finally decided to look up panto on Wikipedia and was amused to find that the British tradition is very different from the pantomime I've experienced. From what I've seen, what 'merkins call "pantomime" is silent mime -- "oh, I'm stuck in a box" sort of thing. But British pantomime seems to involve people dressing in drag, audience participation, lots of sexual innuendo, and most importantly, dialogue.
Would you mind describing panto a little more, SG? It's obviously something that you enjoy very much. I loved reading your description, but I am far from understanding it!
