Panto Collection: Backstage at Dick Whittington on Ice

What you don't see backstage is what really controls the show. Sarah Sutton  

Ever since my first pantomime my favorite part of the show has always been what goes on behind the curtain, whether its the make up artists finishing each whisker, or the costume department quickly patching someones costume or just the cast frolicking around. These photos not only show the dedication that is put into each performance but also capture some of the joyous spirits that create it.
