MET2 presents
The High-Flying Family Musical
Peter Pan
The high-flying fantasy, Peter Pan will delight children of all ages when the boy who will never grow up swoops down over The James R. Armstrong stage at The Torrance Cultural Arts Center on March 8, 9 and 10th, 2013. Grand adventures await on your journey to J.M. Barrie’s Neverland – “it’s not on any chart, you must find it with your heart.”
Join Peter, Wendy, John, Michael and of course Tinker Bell, who along with the Lost Boys, do battle with the sinister Captain Hook and his pirate crew. Along the journey you’ll befriend Tiger Lily and her tribe and re-awaken your belief in fairies. This musical masterwork, with orchestrations from the recent Broadway revival, includes the favorites - "Never Never Land," "I Won't Grow Up" and "I'm Flying." Peter Pan will delight the immortal child in all of us!
Peter Pan was first introduced by JM Barrie in 1901 in the short story, Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. The stage version was introduced in 1904 and has since been flying in theatres, capturing the imaginations and hearts of audiences worldwide. The play’s initial popularity spawned a book which was basically excerpts from the script – Peter Pan in Kensignton Gardens – released in 1906. Barrie expanded the work into a novel in 1911 entitled Peter and Wendy. Previously a play with music, the full musical version wasn’t created until 1954. It was directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins and starred Mary Martin. Famous Peter Pans to follow have included Sandy Duncan and Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby who won the Tony in 1998.

Peter Pan is directed by Alison Bretches and Bretches said that this production enthusiastically embraces the magic of childhood. The boy who never grew up is the child in all of us who is youth, joy, and freedom. Childhood magic is revealed through the contrast between a world dominated by time (the London nursery), and Neverland a timeless place where one can never grow old. The other childhood magic of course is the amazement of flight. Audiences will be awestruck by MET2’s production that will be assisted by the professional flyers from ZFX to bring all the magic of Peter Pan to life.
