The first pantomime is believed to have originated in England in the early 18th century, evolving from the Italian commedia dell'arte. The term "pantomime" was popularized with the introduction of "Harlequinade," a genre that combined music, dance, and slapstick humor. The first true pantomime, as we know it today, is often credited to John Rich, who staged performances at the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre in London around 1717.
