Based upon Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novel, this Tony award-winning musical explores the origin story of the most formidable Boy Who Would Not Grow Up, aka Peter Pan. Set during Victorian times, this dangerous yet playful tale tracks the fantastical escapades of three orphan boys, Lord Aster, and his daughter Molly as they set sail on two ships burdened with a mysterious cargo. Along the way, they tussle with greedy pirates, escape the clutches of the jungle, and inevitably, discover unlikely friendships, untapped courage, and their own heroic calling.
Originally produced on Broadway by Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Greg Schaffert, Eva Price, Tom Smedes, and Disney Theatrical Productions. Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
