1995+Hiawatha



This was my very first pantomime, it seems such a long time ago now. I was one of the little ones at the front that did the dancing and everyone cooed over... It was amazing when I heard on the music recording for this year that Baked Bean Stew had reappeared, and I still remembered some of the words! Apart from the pyrotechnics, a standout memory I have was having to be almost bathed in //that// brown make up to recreate the appearance of Native American people, it took about a week to get it fully out.....

=> One of my lasting memories of this pantomime is unfortunately blinding my fellow cast member (above) with the shaving foam used for custard pies during a rehearsal! I don't think he holds it against me. => I also remember Nick giving a very good impression of a grizzly bear.
