What is the Panto?

[switch842]

So, there's all this stuff out there now about John appearing in the Hippodrome Panto of Aladdin. For all my British friends, what is this exactly? When I hear "pantomime" I think like, mime. Acting without speaking, etc. Is that what it is? Or something completely different?

*sighs*....I used to go to one every Christmas with my mum and grandparents....they lived close to Richmond and Wimbledon Theatres and it was a family tradition....I last went to one when Jon was about 4/5 years old......

Just make sure you practice your "HE'S BEHIND YOU!"...it's compulsory for all Panto-goers!!....*snortle*.....
