Barrie\u2019s 1904 play, this rousing, tuneful and tender tale of adventure concerns the mischievous Peter Pan and his pal Tinkerbell who whisk the Darling siblings to Neverland, where they meet and conquer the villainous Captain Hook. The delightful score, one of the finest of the 1950s, contains such gems as \u201cI\u2019m Flying,\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve Gotta Crow,\u201d \u201cNever Never Land,\u201d \u201cWendy,\u201d \u201cCaptain Hook\u2019s Waltz\u201d and \u201cI Won\u2019t Grow Up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the best things about doing live theater is taking a show that is really connected to a particular time period and finding a way to make it come alive again,\u201d said director Joe Deer. \u201cOften old pieces of musical theater feel stiff, stale and not alive at all, but this show is completely different. \u2018Peter Pan\u2019 is so joyful and funny.
