MING THE
GAP!
or
The Very Silly 'Not Quite' Christmas Panto
A troupe
of actors battle hunger, cold and a nasty theatre agent named
Norman T. Scrooge, to try and bring Christmas joy to the children
of London. After Scrooge has refused to pay them the wages
he owes them, they go on strike and get back at him by staging
their own hugely successful quirky pantomime combining all
their characters into one marvellous fantasy tale.
It
includes Princes, Princesses, talent quests, love at first
sight, ageing rock stars, underdogs and talking cats. And
don't forget the fairy-godmother!
This
is really two stories in one, with lots of memorable songs,
and of course a happy ending!

To Show!' is a new, innovative, and economical way to stage
