STAGE TUBE: On This Day 11/26- PETER PAN
By: Nicole Rosky Nov. 26, 2014
Welcome to BWW's THIS DAY Series celebrating theatrical birthdays, openings and special events that took place on this day in theatre history!
Today in 1991, the second Broadway revival of Peter Pan opened at the Minskoff Theatre, where it ran for 48 performances. Peter Pan is a musical adaptation of J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan and Barrie's own novelization of it, Peter and Wendy. The music is mostly by Mark "Moose" Charlap, with additional music by Jule Styne, and most of the lyrics were written by Carolyn Leigh, with additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The original 1954 Broadway production, starring Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook, earned Tony Awards for both stars.
In celebration of this day, we bring you 'Never Never Land' as performed by Cathy Rigby. Click below to check it out!
