Though a few pantos have sprouted in the United States, they have mostly struggled, Ellacott says " The most popular are "Aladdin," set in China instead of Arabia; "Dick Whittington," who rids Morocco of its rats with his cat sidekick; "Cinderella," Ellacott's personal favorite; and "Snow White He has preserved the panto tradition of the cross-dressing "Dame" character, with 6-foot-3-inch Wade McCollum playing the evil stepmother, Evilena Then she succumbs to a bite from the poisoned apple, and falls into a deep sleep, to be awakened with a kiss from The Prince (Ray) Evilena sings "Michael Jackson's got nothing on me" after her repeat visits to the plastic surgeon in the song, "I've Been Done," a takeoff on "Dance 10, Looks 3" from "A Chorus Line com "We've got lasers, we've got flying fairies, people coming out of traps in the floor, live ponies "A lot of theaters in this country rely on their pantomime business to subsidize them for the rest of the year He and partner Peter Robbins are famous for their portrayals of Cinderella's Ugly Sisters "Put him in four-inch heels and 18-inch wig and that's a lot of woman," says Giancarlo "I'm not a big Christmas lover The audience gets into the act, shouting, "It's behind you!" to warn of approaching danger oregoncabaret Group Brings English Christmas to Stage Dec 18, 1:17 PM EST Looking for a traditional English Christmas? Forget Scrooge and Tiny Tim He is to cut out Snow White's heart with a salami (because its funnier than a knife) and bring it back for a Hannibal Lecter-style entree with fava beans Ten dancers In Britain, "The Dame" changes costume for every entrance, even if it's only for a few seconds, with the most lavish saved for the final bow so the audience walks out with the memory of an incredible spectacle "Disney is so identified with this story "Here you want them screaming, so you can't hear anything " Panto is short for pantomime, whose Greek root refers to a play performed with mute gestures and music But pantos are silly " She sends Snow White (Jacqueline Stein) off to New York, with the Huntsman (David Ray) on her trail com and a longtime star of British pantos The result was "Panto-Monium, a Cindy-Rella Story "It's a real adventure," Giancarlo says of writing panto A take-charge modern woman, Snowy forms them into a rock band, belting out "Snowy and the Dweebs" to the tune of "Benny and the Jets," with Dweebs Rad (Hitchcock), Cool (Kasey Mahaffy) and Awesome (Marc Swan) " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Oregon Cabaret Theater: http://www "When you're doing dramatic pieces, you're looking for silence, that moment when you can hear a pin drop," says McCollum "In every town there will be pantomime," he says A cast of 12 and the local children " "Alice in Panto Land" followed in 1994, "Ali Baba: A Tale of Arabian Delights" in 1998, and the latest is "Snow White & Several Dweebs," which runs through Dec "Pantomime in this country is the first time a child will go to the theater," says Ellacott He recalled a Christmas visit to Spain, where homesick English expatriates put on a panto "When it came over to Britain through France, they couldn't speak the language, so they mimed it with lots of funny business," said Nigel Ellacott, keeper of the panto flame at his Web site www "We've got a duty to do it right But the British product is anything but silent com Panto: www " Medieval tradition still plays an important role 31 its-behind-you If they don't like it, they may never set foot inside a theater again its-behind-you A thoroughly British holiday tradition that predates Dickens and might make Disney blush, the Oregon Cabaret Theater has turned it into a local favorite with an American accent in a town best known for Shakespeare " "The 'Cinderella' I'm doing at the moment must cost an absolute fortune," said Ellacott " Panto was something completely different for the actors, primarily because it depends so heavily on the audience to make it all work Giancarlo's latest story begins with an audience warm-up in which a dramaturge â€â€? a dig at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which employs several to interpret the Bard â€â€? explains panto to three goofy pages in choir robes I feel it is so shoved down your throat for so long," he says So the Shakespeare you see in July might well have been paid for by pantomime in December That, to me, is the beauty of it The songs and dances melded with fairy tale plots, the good and evil traditions of medieval morality plays, and British music hall gags and have been playing to packed theaters since the early 1800s The villain always enters first from stage left (the word sinister derives from the Latin for left), and the good guys from stage right The form has its roots in the Commedia dell'Arte, the raucous Italian song and dance theater that dates back to the 16th century and was the inspiration of Punch and Judy puppet shows The real deal is a mix of "Fractured Fairy Tales" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," tossed with a generous dose of slapstick and melodrama popularly known as panto But the Hunstman can't do it, and Snow White finds refuge in a fraternity house, where she is napping when three computer geeks come home But they are big business in Britain, where he has tallied 195 professional productions, 12 touring companies and untold amateur productions "It's a totally different theater experience," says Jim Giancarlo, artistic director of OCT and author of four pantos I've got that looming over my head all the time Giancarlo wrote his first panto in 1992, desperate for a holiday show to keep his small dinner theater filled during the long cold winter, when the big tourist draw, the Tony Award-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival, is dark There's no quick way to get into this story, and time is too valuable on the evening news, said Slavin, who was executive producer of "World News Tonight" until a promotion this spring "It just has so much," said Tom Touchet, executive producer of "Today The difference came with the time slot It felt like there were significant developments each time it was covered, he said "Nightly News," also No A regular morning news viewer is probably intimately acquainted with details about the pregnant Modesto, Calif The evening news has 30 minutes to sum up the world, minus the commercials Only the Iraq war and its aftermath rated more attention than the 415 minutes â€â€? nearly seven hours of talking â€â€? that the three shows devoted to the case Sixty-three other stories got more attention in the evening, according to the Tyndall Report, which monitors TV news coverage and compiled the statistics "Is it an important story? I can't say," said Paul Slavin, senior vice president of ABC News " Andrew Tyndall, a news consultant and president of ADT Research, said Capus has "played it just right She was the girl next door, she was full of hope and enthusiasm, she was thrilled to be pregnant and she goes missing on Christmas Eve " But true crime stories are big in the morning, he said Meanwhile, NBC's "Nightly News," ABC's "World News Tonight" and the "CBS Evening News" spent just 12 minutes on the story during the same period Yet the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news programs take strikingly different approaches to covering the Laci Peterson case That's more than the space shuttle Columbia disaster and homeland security "If the Peterson family had decided not to go public or turned down requests for interviews, it would not have been a big story," Tyndall said " "It's an unfathomable tragedy Someone who relies on the evening news, on the other hand, may not even recognize the names of Scott and Laci Peterson " The shows' formats, in part, dictate the contrary approaches Unlike the Levy story, which the "CBS Evening News" pointedly stayed away from two years ago, there was little difference in how the story was played between the different networks "But I can say it was a very, very interesting story And they've had little trouble finding interview subjects 1 in the ratings, gave the story a scant two minutes Networks Differ on Laci Peterson Coverage Jul 3, 2:07 PM EST They're on the same television networks, hours apart " Top-rated "Today" has devoted 154 minutes to the case, more than any of its rivals This case has unfolded slowly, and lent itself to interviews of people opining and speculating â€â€? perfect for the morning show formula "I think it's a different audience Over six months, the morning shows spent 603 minutes on that story, the evening shows 117 minutes, Tyndall said He said he's looking for stories each day that will hit the front page of newspapers With that extra time to fill, the morning shows mirror the cable news networks, which have also spent many hours on the story "It's not a news judgment issue," Capus said There's no national significance to this story Meanwhile, "Nightly News" executive producer Steve Capus said he's "entirely comfortable" with his decision to largely ignore the story, and won't judge others For the past six months, it has been the third-biggest news story on "Today" and its morning brethren NBC's "Today" is three hours, while ABC's "Good Morning America" and "The Early Show" on CBS are two hours There was a similar pattern, though not nearly as pronounced, two summers ago when the Chandra Levy disappearance case dominated headlines It's a local story Besides, with all the talking on morning shows, cable networks and local news, Slavin figured there wasn't much he could tell viewers they didn't already know There's just so much our audience can relate to , woman who disappeared last Christmas Eve, allegedly killed by her husband Touchet doesn't believe "Today" has overplayed the story |
