Tonight I was privileged to watch Peter Pan, a new stage production of J.M. Barrie’s classic story. In a state of the art, 360-degree theater with a video projection, this show transported the audience from London to Neverland in a seamless, dream-like, performance.
The show included wonderfully created puppets, including Nana, the kids favorite dog, and the ominous ticking croc, creatively made out of hangers and fabric. The 360-degree projection screen took you soaring over London and Big Ben to Neverland, from the Lost Boys tree house to the depths of Mermaid Lagoon. The show is pure magic, inspiring the child in all of us to dream of pirates, Indians, mermaids, fairies and heroes. The incredible imagination of the creators is awe inspiring.
The actors were phenomenal in bringing their characters to life. Tinker Bell had the fire and attitude as originally imagined by J.M. Barrie. Captain Hook was the perfect pirate that everyone loves to hate. Peter made you want to crow and believe in fairies, and Wendy reminded all women what it was like to be a girl again.
I highly recommend this show to everyone! It will bring a smile to your heart :)
**I feel this show is more appropriate for children 6 and up. They do stick closely to the original story so there are moments that are intended for a more mature audience.
