Wizard of Oz Pantamime

After hearing all of our friends from over here say "You must go to a Pantamime while here", we finally took their advice and went.  Although I had to ask first "What is a Pantamime".  They said it's a play, usually a musical, where the actors get the audience to participate with lots of yelling/dancing/singing.  There is a club on the defence academy that put on a Wizard of Oz Pantamime and we went as a family to try it out.  There were a few surprises in the play.  One was that Aunt Em was played by a man and another was that Elvis was in the play with the other main characters.  Evidently at some point Elvis also got stuck in Oz before Dorothy arrived.  So he went along with Dorothy to try to find her way home.  There was a lot of English humor throughout.  The characters came out and ran through the audience and really interacted with the crowd.  At the end, the kids were asked to come on stage.  Unfortunately Aaron Michael started feeling sick part way through and Aaron had to take him home, but Elisabeth was able to go up on stage.
