One of the things I love about pantomime is standing at the back of the stalls at the beginning of the show and listening to the laughter coming from the audience and watching families have a really great time.
There's a sea of wands and flashing lights all around and it just provides a gentle reminder that this is what theatre is all about, good solid entertainment and the chance to escape the doom and gloom which is hanging over us all at the moment.
So it was really great to hear that through donations from the general public and local companies we've managed to enable over 500 patients and their families share this very British tradition. Thanks to everyone who donated to our Panto Appeal these children and there families will be able to have a break from what can be a very stressful time at hospital and for a few hours, at least, join in and have some fun. The children will also have the chance to meet some of the cast who will be dashing off stage after curtain down to say hello. So thank you for helping.
If you want to donate to our 2009/10 panto there's more information on our website www.birminghamhippodrome.com

Does anyone know if enough money has been raised for john to be wearing tights on the last performance? That would be funny!
