Peter Pan flies back to Burlington to take us to Neverland for final performances this weekend

Burlington High School will present its final three performances of Peter Pan this Friday and Saturday (March 31 and April 1) at 7:30 pm, and Sunday (April 2) at 2:00 pm in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center.

Based on JM Barrie’s classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Peter Pan is one of the most beloved family favorites of all time. This high flying Tony Award-winning musical has been performed around the world and has delighted audiences for over 60 years.

Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.

Featuring the iconic songs, "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up" and "Never Never Land," and a rousing book full of magic, warmth and adventure, Peter Pan is the perfect show for the child in all of us... who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up.

Cast in the title role of the boy who would never grow up is Ivy Saltsman as Peter Pan. She is joined by Mia Campbell as Wendy Darling, Harry White as Captain Hook, Crystal Curran as Mrs. Darling, Christian Weisse as Mr. Darling, Michelle Pothier as John Darling, Boris Belin as Michael Darling, Gaia Arno as Liza the Maid and Jessie Goober as Tiger Lily.

Be prepared to be whisked away to a place where dreams are born and no one ever grows up! Tickets for Peter Pan are $10 for students/senior citizens and $15 for adults. They can be purchased atwww.BurlingtonTheatre.com, 781-A-FUN-TIC, tickets@bpsk12.org and at the door.
