Based on Sir James M. Barrie's classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Peter Pan is one of the most beloved family musicals of all time. With a sprinkling of pixie dust, Peter, the boy who wouldn't grow up, along with his playful fairy sidekick Tinkerbell whisk the Darling family children away to the place where dreams are born. During their adventures in Neverland they encounter all the characters one would expect in the magical world of childhood. There are bungling pirates, natives, an infamous ticking crocodile and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.

Peter Pan first soared over Broadway in 1954 with Mary Martin in the lead role and starred Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook. Both actors won Tony awards for their performances. Featuring such iconic songs as "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up," and "Never Never Land," and a book rich with imagination, warmth and rollicking adventure, Peter Pan is the perfect show for the child in all of us. Peter Pan has continued to thrill children young and old through various stage and film adaptations, as well as numerous television broadcasts including a live NBC telecast that aired in December of 2014.
