Gemma Nethersole, from Worthing Theatres, said a change was made to the performance at the end of last week in reaction to criticisms from the public.
She said: "One of the dames' musical scenes where there was a Beyonce song has been changed in favour of a hilarious ghost-scene with lots of audience participation and 'he's behind you' style interaction."
Director Paul Hammond added: "We decided to change one small scene after listening to feedback and it's made what was already a fantastic panto even better.
