Acts, plural.
Women dressed as men and men as women.
It's mandatory for the principal boy to be played by a girl. There'll be a dame played by a man. (Cinderella gets two as the ugly sisters)

And there will be quite a lot of childishly 'rude' jokes :D

Certain scenes are also mandatory regardless of the actual story being told.

There's always a scene where the heroes are trying to avoid a baddy and the audience warns the heroes by calling out "he's behind you" which generally leads to a lengthy "Oh no he isn't" "Oh yes he is" argument with the audience

The female lead is always played by a female.
So the love story is between two actresses.
There is often a pantomime cow or horse which is two actors in a very silly costume.
