While it might sound like a tired show about Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and of course, Tinkerbell, the newest show bringing Peter Pan to Broadway takes a whole different look at the story. In this play, Peter and the Starcatcher, Peter isn’t Peter Pan just yet; he’s just an orphan boy who’s about to learn what it’s like to never grow up. Those other characters are there too, just in a way like we’ve never seen before. Unless of course, you managed to catch the show in its previous off-Broadway run at the New York Theater Workshop. 

The play that will run on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theater will run from March 28 – April 15 and based on critic and audience reviews of the previous production, this is sure to be a good one. Although, the cast of 12 that takes on about 50 different characters might not be entirely the same. Christian Borle, who played the character of Captain Hook Off-Broadway won’t be returning as he’s going to be jumping back into his role of NBC’s “Smash.” No members of the cast have been confirmed yet, but the lead role of Peter could be the same, as Adam Chanler-Berat is just wrapping up his role in the Off-Broadway production of Rent.

The concept of this Peter Pan isn’t entirely new. The play is based on the book of the same name written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson in 2004. The book was published by Hyperion Book, which is a subsidiary of Disney; and the play is also co-produced by Disney Theatrical Productions.
