So its the run to Christmas and so that
means its pantomime time (oh no its not!). As usually we decided to
take the brownies to the Marlowe theatre in Canterbury to watch Dick
Whittington. So on Sunday I bundled 15 brownies into a minibus and
set of to the theatre.
The brownies were very exited (and very
noisy) as many of them had been previous years and the Marlowe
theatre has never failed to entertain with their pantomimes.
I was a little ashamed to say that
before I went to the pantomime, I didn't know the story of Dick
Whittington and so it was nice to watch the pantomime and not really
know what was going to happen.
The pantomime was so funny, the
brownies were constantly laughing. There were many jokes aimed at the
adults and I don't think the brownies got but had me in hysterics. As
in all good pantomimes, they had a flying fairy and a dude in a dress
(they even had a scene with a dude in a female body suit and a
bikini)!
The brownies all said that their
favourite bit was a section where Dick Whittington was underwater and
the audience got to watch a 3D video of underwater creatures. I was
so funny watching them all scream and jump out their seats when it
looked liked piranhas where coming out of the screen.
This years pantomime had Stephen
Mulhern in and he was awesome. As a result the pantomime had many
magic tricks within the show and I genuinely couldn't work out how
some of them were done. There was one trick where someone was under
the table and Stephen was lifting up buckets and it looked like he
was making his head disappear and reappear into the different
buckets. It did go wrong when the guy under the table misjudged where
the hole was and bashed his face into the table! Obviously me and the
brownies found this really funny.
When it was finished we spent ages
trying to get all the girls ready and to the little shop. We were last to leave as usual! We thought the brownies would be tired and
quieter on the journey home
but they seen to be making more noise (if
that was possible!) while waving their light up toys.
The pantomime was fantastic and I would
defiantly recommend it too anyone. The singing and dancing was
amazing and the there were jokes constantly. At one stage they even
managed to do a scene that included about 24 jokes based on shop
names. The pantomime is running until January and more information
can be found on their website here.
