tickling onstage in theatre?

Question

Does anyone know of any scenes in plays and musicals that have tickling in them? If so what were they, what happened, and when you saw it was it real or fake?

Answer 1

I can't think of a scene off the top of my head where tickling is actually the SCRIPTED stage business, but I once saw a production of "As You Like It" where Rosalind had to tickle Celia to get her to spill the beans about Orlando in Act 3, scene ii. Obviously, you can't have a character GIGGLING onstage to the point where you can't understand what they're saying, but...it was pretty convincing.
