Origins
adapted from the play by Sir James M. Barrie, this musical production has had several adaptations played on theatre 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, Adolph Green, and Amanda Green, and additional music by Jule Styne. This retelling of the story 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 felt the show lacked music, so in came Comden and Styne to create new songs that would go on to become timeless staples in the production. The musical version of the 1911 novel adaptation showed for the first time in 1954 and ran with roaring success until 1955 when it stopped showing to create a version to air live on television for NBC. With 65 million viewers across the country, the show was a smash 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 focuses on a boy who never grew up and takes the Darling children to Neverland with his sassy 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 Neverland, but Wendy shows some maturity and becomes a mother figure to the orphans of Neverland. Though the Darling adventurers refused to grow up, but do begin missing their mother and grow eager to go back home, but not after Captain Hook throws a wrench in their plans!
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 join adults in the real world. For any grown-ups wishing they could go back in time, this imaginative production of a parentless adventure will give you a couple of hours of nostalgic bliss. Bring your children since they will also love this dreamy story about relishing in the carefree days and growing up.
Inclusivity
Inspired by Larissa FastHorse's novel, the Peter Pan story is updated for modern audiences to include a more positive and accurate depiction of Native Americans, who were formerly 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.
