History
adapted from the play by Sir James M. Barrie, this musical play has had several versions played on Broadway stages and live on TV. Original lyrics and music were created by Carolyn Leigh and Morris (Moose) Charlap, respectively, with further lyrics by Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Amanda Green, and more music by Jule Styne. This version 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.
Stagings 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 and Styne to create new music that would go on to become unforgettable staples in the production. The musical adaption of the 1911 book debuted in 1954 and ran with roaring success until 1955 when it stopped showing to create a production to air on NBC. With 65 million viewers across the nation, the show was undeniably successful and aired again in 1956 and 1960. Many reshowings aired over the years, with new productions airing on television in 2000 and 2014.
