A delightful evening to remember childhood

One of my favorite stories Peter Pan came to life and didn’t disappoint! I must say it was the first time I loved Captain Hook! He was amazing in the production!

It was ok.

Not my favorite play. Loved Captain Hook and his sidekick. For me the best part was the video when they were flying out from the bedroom window. That was Awesome!!!

Peals of Children's Laughter
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
I attended Peter Pan twice...once as it was part of my subscription and once to treat my family. Both times I noticed that children and adults laughed at different times! To me that means there are many levels of humor in the show which have wide appeal. Perhaps most gratifying was hearing my grandson talk about the production afterward. Both children, ages 10 and 6, enjoyed the whole musical and found parts of it magical. Does it get better?

Excellent! Worth it!

Awesome showcase of talent! We had a great time and the kids eyes were focused on the play the whole time. We all had smiles ear to ear start to finish with lots of laughs. Hook was my favorite! Go see it if you can

This production is fabulous! We were in Row Z and could see perfectly and we had a 3 year old with us. We all enjoyed it! Our grandson was on the edge of his seat enthralled. Great memories. So worth going!

Pannong Pan
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
Actor playing Pan was disappointing. His acting was wooden and at times his speech was difficult to understand. Tó bad he was the main focus of the play. I also thought that some of the changes were interesting and overdue, like Tiger Lily. However changing to modern times, diminished the magic of earlier productions

Average Performance at best
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
My expectations for the theatre and performance were greater than the reality of the show. The acting and stage props were amateurish at times. The decision to omit tinker bell as a person and substitute her for an annoying light was a real miss. Her character adds greatly to the overall story. The upsides were fair to good choreography and fair singing. Also on a positive note the young woman that played Wendy was the best performer and I commend her work.
