This lively musical tells the story of Wendy, John and Michael Darling who one night find a mysterious boy in their room. The boy, they learn, is named Peter and lives in a magical far away place called Neverland. With a little help from the pixie Tinkerbell and a happy thought in their hearts, the Darlings fly away with Peter to adventures in Neverland. There, they meet the orphaned “Lost Boys”, help rescue and befriend the beautiful Indian princess Tiger Lily and save the day by spoiling the dastardly doings of the sinister Captain Hook. Despite the grandest of adventures, the Darlings decide to return to their family home with “Lost Boys” in tow. Peter, however, remains behind in Neverland, proving himself the “boy who wouldn’t grow up.”

Peter Pan is based on the 1904 stage play of the same name, written by Sir James M. Barrie. Barrie created the stories to entertain the children of his friends. The musical premiered on Broadway in October 1954 at the Winter Garden Theater and ran for 152 performances. The original cast included Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Richard as Hook. The production garnered three Tony Awards, including Best Actress in a Musical (Mary Martin) and Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Cyril Richard). Soon after it closed on Broadway, the show was remounted for television and performed in a historic, live color broadcast in 1955. The success of the telecast led to two additional live broadcasts; the last of which, in 1960, was recorded and continued to air regularly for years to come. Featured songs include: I Won’t Grow Up, I Gotta Crow and I’m Flying. The musical premiered on Broadway in October 1954 at the Winter Garden Theater and ran for 152 performances.

Peter Pan

"I have a place where dreams are born,
And time is never planned.
It's not on any chart;
You must find it with your heart.
Never Never Land…"
