Peter Pan, the high-flying musical, has been thrilling audiences of all ages for close to 70 years and is now a newly-imagined production directed by Emmy Award® winner Lonny Price (Sunset Boulevard, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill) with the book by celebrated playwright Larissa FastHorse (The Thanksgiving Play, What Would Crazy Horse Do?) and choreography by Lorin Latarro (Waitress, The Who’s Tommy). Peter Pan will bring the magic to a whole new generation Sept. 24 –29. Tickets are on sale now.
The adventure begins when Peter Pan and his mischievous sidekick, Tinker Bell, visit the bedroom of the Darling children late one night. With a sprinkle of fairy dust and a few happy thoughts, the children are taken on a magical journey they will never forget. This extraordinary musical is full of excitement and adventure and features iconic and timeless songs including “I'm Flying,” “I Gotta Crow,” “I Won't Grow Up” and “Neverland.” Peter Pan embraces the child in us all so go on a journey from the second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning - your entire family will be Hooked!
When adapting Peter Pan, FastHorse explained that her job was to refresh the story rather than reimagine it. It was very important to FastHorse that any child coming to the show could imagine Peter Pan flying outside their window.
Additionally, FastHorse took the tribe of children and adapted it in the new production so that each person in the tribe is the last member of an extinct culture. FastHorse explained it is because you never grow old in Neverland, these members come to Neverland to preserve their cultures until they can find a way back to the normal world.
“I am thrilled to be part of bringing Peter Pan to life for a new generation,” said FastHorse. “If you loved this musical before, you will still see the show that enchanted you, while discovering a Peter Pan that everyone can enjoy, without harm, for many years to come.”
Seventeen-year-old Nolan Almeida will play the iconic role of Peter Pan. An Orange County, California native, Nolan was most recently seen as Crutchie in Newsies at 5-Star Theatricals and was featured in Christmas on Repeat on Hulu.
“Nolan embodies all the beautiful contradictions of Peter,” said Price. “He’s an extraordinarily gifted young actor, a wonderful singer and nothing short of magical.”
Joining him will be Cody Garcia as Captain Hook who most recently starred as Willy Wonka in the national tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that played here in 2021 and as Buddy in Elf. Emerson College graduate Hawa Kamara as Wendy and acclaimed recording artist Raye Zaragoza as Tiger Lily.
“This company is simply going to blow people away and I cannot wait for audiences across the country to fall in love with each of them,” Price said.
