Broadway’s favorite high-flying family musical swoops into Yakima in this lavish new production of the Tony Award-winning play—complete with lost boys, high-stepping pirates, the delightfully dangerous Captain Hook, and the perennial charm of the boy who won’t grow up. Fly with Peter to the “second star to the right” and join the awe-inspiring antics and wistful wonderment of Neverland in this magical journey based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale of youth, joy, and freedom.
Peter Pan, first offered to theatre goers in 1904, has never lost its appeal. Written by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie (1860–1937), Barrie novelized the play (1911) into a book, Peter Pan and Wendy. It is a story of a mischievous little boy who can't grow up. Peter Pan, a fierce swordfighter, spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as leader of his gang, the Lost Boys. The story features some fantastical elements, one of them being that Peter has some magical powers, such as the power to fly, and his friends include a fairy named Tinkerbell. In addition, a crocodile that has swallowed a ticking clock stalks the pirate leader, Captain Hook, Peter's nemesis.
Finally, a musical the whole family can crow about - PETER PAN!
