Origins

derived from the play by Sir James M. Barrie, this musical performance has had several productions played on theatre stages and live on national television. Original lyrics and music were created by Carolyn Leigh and Morris (Moose) Charlap, with more lyrics by Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Amanda Green, and further music by Jule Styne. This retelling of the tale is derived from a different book by Larissa FastHorse, a Native American playwright who breathed new life into the story.

Stagings of the Peter Pan play by Barrie started in 1904 with the original showing in London, and premiering on Broadway in New York in 1905. Critics felt there weren't enough songs, so in came Comden, Green, and Styne to create new songs that would go on to become classic staples in the production. The musical adaption of the 1911 book showed for the first time in 1954 and ran with critcally-acclaimed success until 1955 when it stopped showing to create a version to air on NBC. With 65 million viewers nationwide, the show was an instant hit and aired again in 1956 and 1960. Many reshowings aired over the years, with new productions airing on television in 2000 and 2014.

Story

The story of Peter Pan features a boy who never grew up and takes the Darling children to Neverland with his cheeky fairy, Tinker Bell. In this fairytale-like land, there are the Lost Boys who perpetually enjoy childhood and no-good pirates led by the evil Captain Hook. The Darling children enjoy the adventures, but Wendy shows some maturity and becomes a mother figure to the motherless children of Neverland. Though the Darling children didn't want to grow up, but do begin missing their mother and grow eager to go back home, but not after Captain Hook stirs up trouble!

This gripping tale is as relevant today as it was years ago when it was first performed in London. Children get to focus on having fun, but eventually must grow up. For any adults wishing they could relive their free days, this wonderful production of a child-led adventure will give you 2 hours 30mins of nostalgic bliss. Bring your children since they will also love this dreamy story about enjoying childhood and growing older.

Diversity

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 marginalized, creating an inclusive and family-friendly tale we can all relate to.
