The Gransnet Panto

Yes, but what colour oxon70 ?

The boots are black (yes, they are REAL over the knee boots) and the cat fluff was white!

I shall make a point of putting more cat furr on them..............

Susiecb you can't disappear on us!

Actually, I may be unavailable for part of tomorrow (although I don't know which part) because as mentioned on Chat I am being favoured by a visit from ds & p plus grandchildren.

However the over the knee boots have been cleansed of cat furr (they are suede type stuff) and my thigh slapping is definitely coming on a treat.

I'm starving - going over there to find Cinders......

My mind is boggling granny23 positively agog. Enjoy!

Well, I am so glad that you all refused to be the back end of my pantomime horse because I have managed to recruit my virtual 'heartthrob' to fill the role. He will come over tonight so that we can practice synchronising our movements. See you tomorrow - I'll be the horse with the smile on my face.

I'm going to jump start the panto as I wont be around in the morning for unforseen reasons so apologise for any inconveneiance. I did think several gransnetters who are late birds might want to srart after midnight so I will open the thread now. Dont forget you can do whatever you want with it go back and forward in time, change characteres, double up on characters anything as long as you have great fun doing it.

Have a lovely panto.

Hello fairygrandgodmother - I like it.

I think - Cinders should be asked what she wants.

Of all the panto roles that are free
A fairy grandgodmother I would be
I'd love to think my magic might
Help poor Cinders in her plight

That poor young woman needs a hand
I'll give it with my fairy wand
Makeovers are my special trick
And all it takes is just one flick

But hang on just a tiny mo
Is marriage to prince the only show?
What about uni? Or crossing the sea?
Maybe it's not the role for me...

Ooo-er!

Hey, Horse, I was thinking - you can of course be both ends at once...should make for coordination....and you won't mind being behind yourself.....
- Maybe we don't need this new technology?

(Anyone see the recent QI with the pantomime horse walking like a giraffe?!)

Fabulous Joan

In my black satin gymslip
And black satin thong
I'll just sneak in stage left
It won't take me long

My long fishnet stockings
And spiky heeled shoes
Will scare all the dancers
To flee to the loos

St Trinians girls
Are as bad as can be
So watch out young Cinders
Just watch out for me

I'll seduce your Prince Charming
He won't stand a chance
Forget your glass slipper
Watch out for his pants

I'll shake in his wine glass
My love potion drink
He'll swoon in my arms
When I give him a wink

Then I'll show him the things
That can happen at night
Oh watch out Prince Charming
You're in for a fright.

Wow - that chorusline rehearsal was impressive. I think, as Wicked Stepmother I do have to remain rather aloof and threatening, but I want you to know that I COULD have kicked as high as you all did and that my splits are memorable!!

I have my costume organised - none of your frilly stuff for me! I'll be rake-thin, in clinging metallic silver lame if that's ok. Have we cast my daughters yet?
Rubella, Salmonella and I think we also have Chlamydia (if you'll pardon the expression!)

Actually I did cop out of this. I cantcant cancan....

.............Meeeeow!
Cat ready with driving goggles if needed.

That was soooo fun.... as the Young Things say.

Rehearsal Call for the Chorus Line:
Rehearsal Call for the Chorus Line:

Right Chorus Line let's warm up - a -five, six, seven, eight. Swing those arms and kick those legs, burn those carbs, push harder, harder, harder..

Good - now let's try our routine - ta tata tata ta ta tata..
Oh well done, I can see you have all worked hard over christmas ... No, no, stop, stop STOP. Now I know some of you have practised in front of the mirror, but we must all try and stay on the same leg. Try again... Cartwheel - no to the right now altogether. NO! TO THE RIGHT!
Oh dear, nobody hurt?
Pick yourselves up and let's try again.
Ah that's much better, legs up past the ears please and leap and splits. Tada.
Well done all of you, please be dressed and ready for your cue in the ballroom scene tomorrow.

- that's if the horse can't get itself together.......

I would love to drive it - but help! I haven't finished my cat costume yet

I would like to be the dove...... as it is a sign of peace and that is what I am looking for .......I can alsol play a good footman

Susiecb, did you say you were going to keep the story on track a bit? I can't find it now!

I think it's Gransnet Pants/no....for some of us anyway!

Oh, you do that too, Bagitha! It always says piano first for me.

Shall do!

Meanwhile, why do I keep reading the thread title as Gransnet Piano?

That is great bagitha and all the other dancers. Watch out for the chorus line rehearsal tomorrow.

I'll volunteer as a dancer. I used to be very good. Can still do virtual very well! I might do well as a general disrupter as well, should one be required and I can do tea any colour you like.

Is a narrator to be
One of our choices
Or a story line told
With various voices?

Now Christmas Day is over
We have to set our minds
To solving Panto problems
Of various different kinds.

Oxon's found the cast list
Some casting we have done
Let's get our acts together now
And really have some fun.

Mamie's choreography
Will surely get us fit
So jump to it and practise
At least a little bit?

The band's coming together
Percussion toots and drums
The chorus line is forming
And some with naked 'inclinations'
