Get Behind Me , Now Stay There : New York Christmas Show

New York Christmas Show

• Arrr! A Very British Pantomime will open on January 4th, 2013 and run for 5 shows over the weekend.
  
  

  Despite the name, Pantomime isn't miming. “Panto” (as it's

  affectionately known in its native Great Britain) is an old tradition

  which owes a lot to the Victorian British Music Hall (think

  “Vaudeville”). But it's not much like Vaudeville, Music Hall or

  anything else except, well, more Panto.

  Most Brits who have ever been to see live theatre started

  with Panto as a youngster. Maybe local amateurs, maybe a

  hugely prestigious affair with big names from pop music or

  a TV soap opera. In any case, it'll have been a huge amount of

  fun and often led to a lifelong love of live theatre.

  Arrr! A Very British Pantomime was written by Gareth John Jones, Directed by Ridley McIntyre and produced by Liz Jones and Chrissy McIntyre. This has been a true labor of love and we're so excited to bring a slice of British culture to the NYC metro area.
