Yes, but you're probably going to be paying more than you would for Hedda so you'd expect the 'actors' to be professional. Also, and I feel strongly about this, panto-bash all you like peoples (and I really do get why people loathe it) but it is many, many children's first foray into theatre and culture so there should be a responsibility from all concerned to do it right. I am including children's opportunities to actually perform as well as watch - provincial pantos take from local dance/Saturday drama schools and this experience gives many kids the bug. Knock it all you like, hate it all you like, but it really does serve a purpose! What sort of pantos do you go to that are more expensive than legit theatre? Palladium Cinderella!
