derived from the play by Sir James M. Barrie, this musical show has had several productions played on Broadway stages and live on television across the country. Original lyrics and showtunes were written by Carolyn Leigh and Morris (Moose) Charlap, with further lyrics by Betty Comden, and Amanda Green, and more music by Jule Styne. This retelling of the tale is derived from a different book by Larissa FastHorse, a Native American playwright who brought a modern depiction of Native Americans to the story.
Productions of the Peter Pan production by Barrie started in 1904 with the original showing in London, and premiering on Broadway in New York in 1905. Critics needed more songs, so in came Comden, Green, and Styne to create new music that would eventually become timeless staples in the production. The musical adaption of the 1911 book was introduced in 1954 and ran with top-rated success until 1955 when it stopped showing to create a version to air on NBC. With 65 million viewers across the country, the show was undeniably successful and aired again in 1956 and 1960. Many rebroadcastings aired over the years, with new productions airing on television in 2000 and 2014.
The story of Peter Pan is about a boy who never grew up and takes the Darling children to Neverland with his diva of a fairy, Tinker Bell. In this fairytale-like land, there are the Lost Boys who always have fun and dastardly pirates led by the greedy Captain Hook. The Darling children enjoy their time with Peter Pan, but Wendy shows some maturity and becomes a mother figure to the orphans of Neverland. Though the Darling children didn't want to grow up, but do begin missing their mother and feeling homesick, but not after Captain Hook stirs up trouble!
This gripping tale is as relevant today as it was over a century ago when it was first presented in London. Children get to enjoy many years without responsibilities, but eventually must join adults in the real world. For any adults wishing they could relive their free days, this thrilling production of a free-spirited adventure will give you 2h 30m of nostalgic bliss. Don't forget to bring the children along since they will also love this dreamy story about staying young and growing up.
Inspired by Larissa FastHorse's novel, the Peter Pan story is reimagined for the next generation to include a more mindful and respectful depiction of Native Americans, who were previously portrayed as antagonists in earlier versions. With updated language and music to portray the people more appropriately, everyone from all walks of life can enjoy this play and not feel misrepresented, creating an inclusive and family-friendly tale we can all identify with.
