As we are sure you are aware, the traditional family pantomime at the Pavilion Theatre Glasgow cannot go ahead this year. But we couldn’t let it stop there so we have manged to arrange the cast, crew, musicians to come and rehearse the Panto Santa Claus is Coming to Town and this will be filmed and put out on YouTube on Christmas Eve this year.
So here is our suggestions, parents, guardians, grandparents, and organisers; it is up to you to get everyone in the Pavilion panto and Christmas spirit! Why not dress up for the occasion and make this a Christmas to remember … Santa Claus, an elf, a fairy, your favourite Christmas jumper or all the discarded Halloween costumes could be used and send us the pictures and we will publish the best and funniest family get togethers! Also, get ready to film the sing a long at the end of the panto and send that into us on social media and the best will win tickets for next year’s Panto.
