Rudders at Home

So, tonight we went to see a pantomime. We saw Henry Winkler playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan, and it was pretty cool. Fonzie was really pretty good as the villain! We have to say, this panto was even better than when we saw Ian Mckellan playing Widow Twanky in Aladdin at the Old Vic. I guess, maybe it wasn’t so much better, as different. Peter Pan was just sheer comedy. Lots of laughing, carrying on, and silly jokes. The pirates sang their own version of the Twelve Days of Christmas, on the 12th day receiving 12 gallons of water, at which point they brought out supersoakers and ran round the theater shooting people with water.

We also had a celebrity spotting at the theater as well. Sir Cliff Richard was in the box seat, and he really got picked on by one of the characters! I got a pic, which didn’t turn out very well, but it’s definitely him! Pretty good spot, if I do say so myself. A good start to the New Year’s eve celebrations.
