Panto is many a British child's introduction to the theatre... and to seeing men in dresses.
I've never wanted to be a panto dame... I want to be the "principal boy", and end the day by taking off that costume and going back to girls' clothes...
Panto has pretty much lost that half of its stage crossdressing tradition, keeping the drag-ish dames in most cases but making the male leads, well, male. The lack of female 'princes' in tights and heels is a real shame...
Of course I want to be the principal girl most of all.
