    Adorable and creative

    by PhillyDancer1023 on 4/18/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    If you are expecting a Broadway-like production look elsewhere. First of all, this is not a musical but a live-action play that happens to have some music. Second of all, the production relies heavily on creative use of props and imagination to convey the storytelling which I greatly appreciated but I overheard some negative response from other audience members who were more accustomed to full-fledged changing scenery etc. For example, to convey a girl wandering through a ship they had cast members hold a long pole as if it were the hallway with a rail, and sway side to side creaking like a ship. Picture frames become doorways and the antics of the crew keep the laughs coming.

    Star Catcher dropped the ball

    by MikeandAnne on 4/13/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    My wife and I left at intermission. While the acting was good, the jokes weren't funny and the story alone wasn't enough to entertain without the 'promised' laughter.

    Peter and the Star Catcher was a disappointment

    by Ajbreview on 4/10/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Can't imagine how a dumb play like this ever got to see the light of day, especially as billed for adults. Would have worked much better for kids. It was juvenile and over-acted, with no particularly likable characters. A waste of time and money.

    Peter and the Starcatcher

    by supro on 4/7/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    The show was wonderful. It was so very entertaining. Some of the humor was a bit risqué but it went over the heads of the younger ones and we adults sure got a kick out of it. First time at the Walnut Street Theatre. Very nice venue.

    by Jess1018 on 4/3/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Enjoyed the experience a great deal! Excellent seats and the show was terrific. I took my 13 year old daughter - and we both enjoyed the show! It was entertaining, funny, sweet and a great night out.

    Fun play

    by DarcyMP on 4/3/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    I enjoyed Peter and the Starcatcher. Since I saw a matinee, it was mostly an older crowd and I believe some of the jokes went by too fast for them, but I found the play entertaining, and particularly the second half gave me many laughing out loud moments. Although there was not a lot of singing, what there was showed real talent across the cast. One moment, as an audience member, was very perplexing for me. I cannot remember the exact scene, but the cast was standing around the periphery of the action and one actor's face was inside a smallish frame as if he were a portrait. Well, his eyes looked as if he was looking straight into mine(as they say "eyes follow you" in some portraits). It was uncanny(I was in row J of orchestra right). Either that actor WAS staring at me, or he had an unusual gift to make it look that way. I tried looking away, but everytime I looked back, still the staring eyes right at me. Weird(and no, I was not smoking anything nor drinking prior. )

    What a wonderful surprise!

    by lovegreattheater on 3/30/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Our family loved this show! It was very funny, and the acting was amazing. Would highly recommend for ages 13 and up, as a lot of the jokes will go "over the head" of younger kids.

    Peter and the Starcatchers is Awesome!

    by Springbreakermom on 3/30/16Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    I bought these tix for my family because my daughter loves the book series. I had no idea it would objectively be such an outstanding production and truly a favorite for all of us. The theater, set, funny lines and most of all the actors were top notch.
