You're confusing "family" with "kids" Panto isn't just for kids. Try watching one - usually they're full of filthy double entendres and political jokes (well, ours are). But yes, when Snow White bites the apple, she becomes "comfortably numb". What's inappropriate about that?

Beer beer we want more beer by the Macc Lads.

eh, you use comfortably numb in a kids panto?

ELO - Mister Blue Sky
Elbow - One Day Like this

If you're going down that route, there's always ELO - All Over The World for an upbeat song

Walking on sunshine was this year's finale.

Depends a bit on your voices, of course, but we used "We Go Together" from Grease this year. Interesting challenge learning the filler lines but a hell of a finale song if done with spirit. Also the finale version of "When Tomorrow Comes" from Les Mis works surprisingly well, as does Abba's "Thank You for the Music".


Modern stuff doesn't work IMHO, the sounds are all too pretty and they simply don't get chorale.

We did "we go together 4 years ago"; still too early to do it again. I'd already thought of doing a song from Les Mis...

For the end of the first half, I've put Nightwish Storytime. The song before that is this rather catchy number:

We've also got Killer Queen, Old Fashioned Lover Boy, Comfortably Numb... We do have one modern song -Young Girl Talking About Herself - but that's because the Magic Mirror is a teenage girl (my daughter wrote the script).

I'd've liked to have used the one from Snowwhite and the Huntsman, but it's a bit too dark. Is the film any good?

You're probably right.
Film was pretty tulip anyway.

Glad you got a result.

Edit to say that the tulip filter seems to have become a bit, well, tulip.

Kool and the gang - celebration

I think we have a winner. That will work very nicely. Thanks.

Anything by Rage against the Machine really

How about Breath Of Life by Florence and The Machine?
Or even Love's First Kiss?
