The classic tale of Peter Pan has always resonated with audiences, and never so much as now. Who doesn\u2019t want to snag some fairy dust and go sailing off into the sky, away from all adult responsibilities? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Pan<\/span><\/i> the musical was adapted from the 1094 play written by J.M. Barrie. (Which he later novelized as <\/span>Peter and Wendy<\/span><\/i>, the book so many of us grew up reading.) The story was adapted many times, but it was the full Broadway musicalization in 1954 that really let the story soar! The musical\u2019s plot follows the classic tale of the ageless young boy (usually played by a woman, on stage) who lives in a place called Neverland. While visiting real-world Victorian London, Peter meets a young girl named Wendy and takes her and her two brothers with him to Neverland. This magical place seems idyllic, but the children find they have to battle pirates, crocodiles, and their own longings for home. In the end, good wins out\u2026 but Peter refuses to stay with Wendy after taking her home, preferring to return to Neverland where he never has to grow up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many cares in the world, why not transport your audiences to a time and place where childhood lasts forever? Though the story is so familiar, there are several different ways to stage this tale. Let\u2019s take a look at a few different takes:  one that captures an idyllic youthfulness, or some more nuanced takes on the story. Regardless of which direction you choose, TheatreWorld offers all the right backdrops to help you bring this high-flying adventure to your own stage!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
