Quote:
Iain Gordon, General Manager of rival Glasgow theatre, The Pavilion, said: “We’ve had a lot of feedback from schools and general customers about how blue John Barrowman was and the number of gay references he made.
“We’ve taken at least ten schools from the SECC due to teachers saying they weren’t comfortable with the kids hearing the material.”
Mr Gordon said the King’s Theatre in Glasgow could also overstep the mark.
He said: “The King’s has maybe been a bit guilty with Karen Dunbar, but not to the extent of the SECC. (More acceptable because it's not 'gay' perhaps?)
“I don’t blame The Krankies – I think they’re just following Barrowman’s lead. There’s a time and a place for being risqué and blue, and panto is not that place.
