In the Age of Enlightenment, the feral child known as Peter the Wild Boy was a charming curiosity beloved by those who met him, including King George I of England and other members of the Royal Family. Peter: The Untold True Story, by Christopher Mechling, tells the epic adventures of the real boy whose life is mirrored in the fairy tale of Peter Pan. (more...)

BWW Reviews: Cathy Rigby's PETER PAN Is Still Flying High
by Don Grigware - Jun 05, 2012

Cathy Rigby is Peter Pan. Yes, indeed! I have seen Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan as well, but Rigby adds so much more to the character simply because of her physicality. A gymnast can do physical feats and tricks that an ordinary actor cannot. So if Peter Pan can turn sommersaults in mid-air or literally climb the walls of the Darling children's bedroom, if she is played by Cathy Rigby, there is no wonder. Oh, but that is so wrong, for Peter Pan is filled with wonderment, and Rigby, apart from all the physical stuff she adds, is a total joy to behold whether she is flying or not. She and the show are pure magic. Now onstage through June 24 at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, Peter Pan will never grow up, thank heavens! (more...)
