Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris “Moose” Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. This high-flying Tony Award-winning musical has been performed around the world and delighted audiences for 60 years and is now adapted for young performers.
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
Featuring the iconic songs, “I’m Flying,” “I’ve Gotta Crow,” “I Won’t Grow Up” and “Never Never Land,” and a rousing book full of magic, warmth and adventure, Peter Pan, Jr. is the perfect show for the child in all of us who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up. Peter Pan, Jr. is a dream come true for groups looking to bring magic to their stage and entertain countless families.
Peter Pan, Jr. is produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
Will this be available to view other than the livestream yesterday?
Hi Annette! Unfortunately due to the licensing restrictions of Music Theatre International, we were only allowed to stream this once live. I will send an email with more information.
Thanks much,
