Parents slam Christmas pantomime after 'smutty' Rapunzel mimes shaving her 'intimate area' in front of audience including six-year-old children...
Stunned schoolkids as young as six and seven were left 'horrified' after their Xmas panto included a scene were a female character mimed shaving her 'intimate area.'
Dozens of pupils were among an audience watching a performance of festive panto Rapunzel which had been advertised as 'family friendly' in Cambridge.
But a teacher who took a party of local pupils to the panto has demanded a refund after slating the panto as 'vulgar.'
Tickets for the production range from £10 to £15.50.
The woman, who did not wish to be named, told her local newspaper: 'It was totally inappropriate.
'Rapunzel on her wedding night has her bits and bobs shaved ready for her wedding.
'The school I work at took its Year 2's yesterday and they were horrified.
'We have been to the production every year so we automatically booked to take the kids again.
'We were also due to take a Year 6 group but after this the headteacher had to email all the parents to say we wouldn't be able to take them.'
The show, performed at The Junction in Cambridge, was also slammed for its heroine wearing risque red lingerie, which the woman described as 'properly smutty'.
She added: 'With pantomimes you expect a few jokes which might go over the children's heads but it was not innuendo, it was absolutely in your face.'
The headteacher has requested a refund for tickets for the show for Year 6 pupils who were supposed to be attending.
Marketing manager for The Junction, Ed Hine, said: 'We are really pleased with the reception we have had to Rapunzel from audiences young and old.
'We always listen to our audiences and have welcomed feedback from a local school who attended earlier this week.
'Our creative team then slightly modified a small part of the show to ensure that it would be enjoyed by everyone, and it's looking great.'
He added: 'This is the tenth Christmas show we have put on and it's great to see another exciting production made in our studio take to the stage.'
