i am here on the slates alone,
meee-ow, ow, ow,ow,ow, ow, ow- and what a row! (he whips around)
perhaps i ought to be a terribly, terribly british cat, actually, old thing, har,har,har..i mean all the way from caterick and catford, right across to katmandhu and the catskill mountains…the coolest cat in the
during the plot puss will repeatedly approach the king offering gifts- a brace of pheasant, a basket of fish, as gifts from his master- the marquis of carabas. puss has invented this character, and the point is reached when the king wishes to meet this young man
(and possible son-in-law) in person.
come on to the rooftops maude,
world- children, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen- i am at your service- mister puss in boots!”
the prologue:
the opening scene:
come on to the…. oh no, i sound like lena horne’s brother, fog horne!
in many versions the prologue would tell the tale of how colin came to own the cat. the miller has died,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the two older brothers have inherited his mill, and a donkey. colin is crestfallen to discover that all he owns is the miller’s cat. he now has to set off and seek his fortune elsewhere. in some versions the “immortals”- perhaps a fairy and a witch (possibly the ogre’s mother ) will be involved.

depending on whether the panto is set in spain, or italy or in rural england., it might be set in a spanish town square, or in the village beside the mill.
if the king and queen are comic and dame, a lot of their comedy “business” will take place together, and if the broker’s men,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or colin’s two brothers are a double act, the same.
in the pantomime puss is always a swashbuckling swaggering sort of cat. the plot rests on him as he deviously plots and uses his wiles to make people believe his humble master colin is, in fact, a
nobleman.
colin might well meet the princess at this point- and they may fall in love. (as in aladdin) but if they do meet, she has to pretend not to recognise him when he is pretending to be a nobleman later on in the plot.
it is here that having a “good fairy” character helps. with her intervention colin visits a cobblers shop to locate these boots. the cat is generally “doubled” at this point. in some productions the “crawling” cat and the “talking cat” can be played by two actors. if, for example, the cobblers shop has a high counter the “crawling” cat will drag the boots behind the counter, there is a flash, and “puss in boots” rises in his place. the cat has transformed magically and now he begins to talk.
in the opening scene we establish that colin (the principal boy) and his cat will find times hard. the various characters will be introduced- the king and his daughter, the dame (or queen) and the principal comic. broker’s men characters may be introduced, and there may be references to an evil ogre who (as in jack and the beanstalk) holds the land to ransom.
the plot:
puss: “meee-meee-meee! mi,mi,mi,mi
colin’s cat at this point would most likely be a “dick whittington” type of panto cat- cute, mischievous and , apart from the odd “miow”, mute!
who said that?.....(wonderingly) was it me? (he can’t believe it) children, can i ask you something very, very important? was it me really talking then?
the plot of the pantomime version usually follows the perrault story closely. the comedy elements though differ from production to production, depending on who the chief comic characters are- whether the king, for example is the “star” name, or (in the palladium production for instance with dick emery) the cat can be a comic as well. the cat can be played by a female or male performer. the dame may be colin’s mother, or she may be the queen.
the road to the mill:
in robert nesbitt’s production at the london palladium (1962) dick emery as “puss” discovered he could talk:
one such act was an ultra violet (uv) act that involved dancing shoes and boots, always popular for “puss in boots”.
throughout the panto, the traditional comedy scenes will be interspersed. often the dame will be the palace cook, so a set cooking routine would take place between dame, comic and possibly the king.
there are so many variables that it is not possible to outline a typical panto version, and the following is an impression of what you
might see at the theatre.
did i speak-talk-utter-did i say?
frontcloths:
he scratches his head and tries a scale
the cats in flats stay mainly on the mats! i think i’ve got it- by george, i’ve got it!.....if i can talk, perhaps i can sing?...
in some productions the shoe shop could be the scene for a song and dance, or a song from the cobbler (years ago it would have been the “cobblers song” from chu chin chow, or later “in the shoemaker’s shop”, a popular 1950’s song, or even the place for a speciality act.)
just as things look grim for colin, his luck is about to change. in the story-book version the cat suddenly speaks, and asks his master for a pair of enchanted boots. in the panto version, it is usually better if the cat doesn’t speak until “he” has transformed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and is actually wearing the boots.
yeeeow! meeeeeow!
