They can mainly be traced back to the old 16th-century Italian commedia dell' arte tradition. However, the first use of the word 'pantomime' was in the Harlequin-inspired 'Ballet-pantomime', The Loves of Mars and Venus, staged at Lincoln Inn Field Theatre in London in 1717. The first 'modern' pantomime as we see now dates back to 1773, when the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane presented Jack the Giant Killers (Jack and the Beab Stalk), followed within the next three decades by Robinson Crusoe, Aladdin, Babes in the Wood and Cinderella

Some pantomimes that are not often performed include lesser-known stories like "The Three Little Pigs," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Twelve Dancing Princesses." These tales may lack the familiar characters and themes that audiences expect in traditional pantomimes, making them less popular choices for theaters. Additionally, adaptations of more obscure fairy tales or original stories may not attract the same audience interest as classic pantomimes like "Cinderella" or "Aladdin." As a result, they tend to be staged less frequently.
Pantomimes are typically performed in theaters or performance venues, especially during the holiday season in the United Kingdom. Many theaters across the UK host annual pantomime productions featuring popular fairy tales and stories performed with added humor, music, and audience participation.
