You know the story; now, experience it live on stage and feel the magic that Peter Pan brings to the theater for eight performances Sept. 24-29. This high-flying musical has been thrilling audiences of all ages for close to 70 years, and it is now being brought back to life in a new adaptation by celebrated playwright Larissa FastHorse, directed by Emmy Award winner Lonny Price and choreography by Lorin Latarro.

​

The adventure begins when Peter Pan and his mischievous sidekick, Tinker Bell, visit the bedroom of the Darling children late one night. With a sprinkle of fairy dust and a few happy thoughts, the children are taken on a magical journey they will never forget. This extraordinary musical full of excitement and adventure features iconic and timeless songs, including “I’m Flying,” “I Gotta Crow,” “I Won’t Grow Up” and “Neverland.”

​

When adapting Peter Pan, FastHorse explained, her job was to refresh the story rather than reimagine it. It was very important to her that any child coming to the show could imagine Peter Pan flying outside their window. 

​

Additionally, FastHorse took the tribe of children and adapted it in the new production so that each person in the tribe is the last member of an extinct culture. Because you never grow old in Neverland, these members come to preserve their cultures until they can find a way back to the normal world.

​

“I am thrilled to be part of bringing Peter Pan to life for a new generation,” FastHorse said. “If you loved this musical before, you will still see the show that enchanted you, while discovering a Peter Pan that everyone can enjoy, without harm, for many years to come.”  

​

Peter Pan embraces the child in us all, so go on a journey from the “second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning” — your entire family will be Hooked!
