About Peter Pan
Peter Pan is a musical adaptation of Sir J. M. Barrie's renowned play Peter Pan and Barrie's own novelization of it, Peter and Wendy. In different productions of the musical, the title character of Peter Pan has been played famously by Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan, and Cathy Rigby. The music is mostly by Mark "Moose" Charlap, with additional music by Jule Styne, and most of the lyrics were written by Carolyn Leigh, with additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
Peter Pan, like its namesake, is a tale which never ages. Children and adults alike have all fallen under the spell of Neverland, a place where children can fly and exciting, and frightening, adventures happen every single day.
In 1985 Piers Chater Robinson adapted JM Barrie’s book for the stage, and now, twenty years later, Piers' innovative Peter Pan musical score is well known and loved, performed in professional and amateur productions world-wide. The ever loved favourites are still there – Peter Pan, Wendy, John, Michael, the dastardly Captain Hook, pirates, fairies and death defying feats of flying! |
