THE BEST: ’You have a great laugh, largely due to the giddy effects of performing three times a day and having to sing and dance when you've just got out of bed. It was great when my niece came backstage and was amazed at how glamorous I looked with my wig and false boobies.’ THE WORST: ’Waking up in the morning to find that I am still in panto land, with a face covered in glitter and my bed full of scratchy sequins. I once found a half- sucked sweetie in my hair, which had been chucked by one of the little darlings in the audience.’
THE BEST: 'The gorgeous costumes and wigs; and losing weight because of sweating under "big" gorgeous costume. Also: falling in love with the stage manager, and getting to the pub early, then doing the 103m matinee still pissed from the night before.’
