Story

There's Wendy, John, and youngest Micheal as they join Peter Pan and his sassy fairy friend Tinkerbell. Together they join Peter in finding and reattaching his shadow before learning to fly in a series of breathtaking flying sequences. They follow Peter and Tinkerbell to Neverland, by flying to the “second star to the right… and straight on ‘til morning”

The Lost Boys, a cheeky group of orphaned children who refuse to grow up, greet them and report to Peter about Hooks' intruding pirate crew. The group share songs, games, and inventive play for a few days, but Captain Hook seizes Tiger Lily, enticing the Darlings, Peter Pan, and the Lost Boys to his ship to attempt a rescue.

Will the children save Tiger Lily and vanquish the wiley pirates? Shall the Darling children remain children forever or return home? Find out when you watch this unforgettable Broadway show this March that gently broaches coming-of-age topics alongside adventure.

History

The 1904 original production that influenced the musical rendition plunged into tricky concepts of boring adult responsibilities versus imaginative childhood innocence. The musical plays out with similar elements while bringing a fresh enchantment and modern flair compared to the 1954 original, which still won a Tony Award the following year.

Iconic actress Mary Martin’s leading performance is an important part of the musicals widespread success. Her groundbreaking role as Peter Pan was a testament to progress for that time. The show continued snagging Tonys and a Drama Desk award for over a decade. The 1960 film recording would also memorialize the story and bring the musical to TVs at home.
