The audience is complicit in finding, chasing and dealing with an evil baddie (villain) and a good heroine (fairy). Traditions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Booing<\/strong> the baddie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheering<\/strong> the heroine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oh No It Isn\u2019t\/Oh Yes It Is<\/strong> \u2013 debating plot points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He\/She\u2019s <strong>Behind You<\/strong> \u2013 when characters&nbsp;
