The production will take place in a one-of-a-kind threesixty° Theatre – a 100-foot-high theatre-tent and cinema all in one. The stage is surrounded by 1,450 tiered seats, 13 rows deep. The show will combine the theater-in-the-round with overhead surround CGI projection, actors in flying sequences 40 feet in the air, and puppets, bringing J.M. Barrie’s classic tale to life.

PETER PAN is directed by award-winning director Thom Southerland and designed by seven-time Olivier Award winner William Dudley. Thom Southerland and Tanya Ronder are co-adaptors of PETER PAN from the J.M. Barrie story, with original music composed by Benjamin Wallfisch and additional music by Howard Herrick. Choreography and movement creator is Gyspy Snider, co-founder of the internationally acclaimed Les 7 Doigts de la Main. By arrangement with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and Samuel French Limited, PETER PAN is produced by Norton Herrick and Charlie Burnell. Norton Herrick, Chairman and CEO of Herrick Entertainment, is a multiple Tony Award-winning producer and film producer of Critics Choice Award winner Lone Survivor.

“This PETER PAN production,” noted Herrick, “is that rare opportunity to tell a legendary story with equal parts innovation and grandeur. Audiences can sit back and be transported to a magical place and time, and be able to share it with their family.”

Charlie Burnell, the London based founder of threesixty°” entertainment and originating producer of PETER PAN, said “Threesixty’s intention with PETER PAN has always been to remain faithful to the original story while employing 21st century techniques to tell it. We are delighted to bring this all new production to North America and entertain a whole new audience of five to 95 year olds.”
