We still have many traditions in pantomime that have remained intact- like never actually saying the last rhyming couplet that you deliver in the curtain call until the opening night- like keeping your finest costumes until the curtain call that we traditionally call "The Walk Down", like having our immortals come onto the stage from different sides- right for good and left (from "Sinister" ) fopr the villain, and our longest tradition might well be that of having the Principal boy and girl be the last to enter in "The Walk Down"- the finale reminds us all that the pantomime is about the happy ever after aspect- the love story of our hero and his lady. It is not about the title role, but about that essential part of the pantomime- the story.
Sorry about the lecture, it just slipped out!
Cheers,
Nigel
