Christian Borle shares his insight into starring in PETER PAN LIVE!
NBC's hotly anticipated live telecast of the beloved Golden Age musical PETER PAN is less than 2 weeks away and a fresh new promotional video interview with Tony Award-winning stage and screen star Christian Borle is now available to view.
"It's amazing to be able to come together with a group of musical theatre who love musical theatre," Borle says as returning champ after having appeared in THE SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE! last year.
"Because we want to save our sweet Mr. Walken for the entrance of Captain Hook, they were kind enough to let me take a stab at these dual roles," Borle adds of playing Mr. Darling and Smee.
"I've been trying to warm him up a little bit," Borle says of his characterization of Mr. Darling.
The official description of NBC's PETER PAN LIVE! is as follows: "Preparing to sprinkle fairy dust across America, NBC presents a bold new LIVE television version of the classic Broadway musical that will gather friends, families and anyone who refuses to ever grow up. Following in the footsteps of the phenomenally successful THE SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE! - which drew over 18 million viewers - comes this musical masterpiece that tells the beloved story of Peter Pan, the mischievous little boy who ran away to Neverland. Get ready for show-stopping stars, stunning costumes, extravagant sets and delightful music that will have everyone in your home singing along. From Executive Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron comes a soaring LIVE three-hour holiday event guaranteed to take viewers on a magical and musical journey to the second star to the right."
