Peter Pan DVD

When it premiered in 1991, the stage musical Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby was a resounding success, and has since embarked on a worldwide tour. This video production, filmed at the Mirada Theater in 2000 for the A&E Network, showcases all the elements that made the original production so beloved. Based on the iconic 1954 musical directed by Jerome Robbins and starring Mary Martin, this updated rendition serves as a timeless reminder that J.M. Barrie's story of the boy who refused to grow up remains a cornerstone of family-friendly entertainment.

In addition to the classic Moose Charlap-Carolyn Leigh score featuring favorites like "Tender Shepherd," "I Gotta Crow," "I'm Flying," and "I Won't Grow Up," new songs have been introduced to further enhance the experience. However, the true standout of this production are the breathtaking flying sequences, with Peter soaring above the audience in awe-inspiring fashion. While Martin excelled in close-up shots, Rigby captivates with her athletic prowess and infectious energy, particularly in the lively "Ugh-a-Wug" musical number.

Filled with humor, daring adventures, extravagant sets, stunning costumes, and a delightfully wicked villain portrayed by Paul Schoeffler as Captain Hook, Peter Pan is a joy for audience members of all ages, starting from as young as 4. The DVD release also includes three sing-along songs and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the making of the production, providing viewers with even more insight into this magical world crafted by the talented cast and crew.
