Interview: KURT PERRY of PETER PAN at BROADWAY AT THE HOBBY CENTER
I'm so extraordinarily proud of this with the work that Lonnie has done and the work that Larissa FastHorse has done in our new book! They've really taken out the racist stuff, and they have given an opportunity for Indigenous voices to be heard loud and clear by Indigenous actors. They also took advantage of the opportunity to elevate female voices in the show.

Interview: PETER PAN's Youngest Cast Members On Tour Life and Broadway Dreams
Eight-year-old Camden Kwok and 12-year-old William Foon never want to grow up. At least, not while they're starring in the national touring production of PETER PAN, as Michael and John. So what's it like being a kid on tour? BroadwayWorld took some time out of the young actors' busy schedules to find out.

Review: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at Copley Theatre, Aurora IL
t tells the story of how he became Peter Pan and provides the backstory of Peter and his forever nemesis Captain Hook. I believe that kids under the age of 13 probably won’t understand the story. The script is geared to adults and has some groan worthy (purposely written) lines. The cast of 16 under the direction of Nate Cohen (Paramount debut) will leave you breathless, laughing and a little teary eyed.
