    Welcome to being 7 years old again.

    If you love fart jokes,repeated TWICE....you'll love this show. Just like watching an episode of "H R Pufnstuf" Bad then, bad now. The 2 second cameo of Witchiepoo on "Murder She Wrote" was better than this. We left at intermission.

    Peter and Black Stauche were amazing!

    by Jelk02 on 2/10/15Lexington Opera House - Lexington

    Well worth seeing, this play of Peyer Pan's origins was so delicious! Pre-hook, Black Stauche will have you rolling in the floor.

    Mr. Smee was awesome!

    by Proud2bme on 2/10/15Lexington Opera House - Lexington

    I loved the first half of the play. Somehow, the second half of the play got lost in translation, after the singing of the mermaids. Regardless, I love the experience of going to the Opera House. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

    A great imagination concieved this production!

    by endleswavz on 2/9/15Lexington Opera House - Lexington

    My wife and I are fans of the theater stage and have seen most of the large touring Broadway productions. We were not entirely prepared for what Peter and the Starcatcher delivered! This production was crafted in such a way that it forced the audience to use their own imaginations to complete the set. The show was also quite humorous in a Monty Python type-of-way! We would highly recommend it and actually see it again given the opportunity!

    The show had a rather abrupt start and it took a little while for me to become invested in it. However, after a few scenes, I began to enjoy the entertainment more. Some of the dialogue was difficult to hear/understand. Also, I was expecting more of a musical, but this performance only featured one true musical number. Black Stache was the stand-out role/performer. Overall, fun story and wonderful exercise in using your imagination!

    Peter is Perfect for teens!

    by NativeNYr1 on 2/5/15Shubert Theatre - New Haven

    Peter and the Starcatcher was clever and hysterical. Excellent for teenagers, as the humor is just slightly adult. We loved the unusual and creative use of props and people. Actors were magnificent.

    Not what I signed up for

    by 2momtwo on 2/5/15Shubert Theatre - New Haven

    This play was darker than we thought. The first half hour Peter is a tortured orphan afraid of of the dark, with scences of his beatings. There is very little music too. As a mom of two young boys I did not enjoy how much cross dressing there was. Definetly not what I signed up for. It is inventive acting as it is the same 12 actors switching roles. However the only people laughing at the jokes were teenagers.

    Peter and the Starcatcher was GREAT

    by PeteB123 on 2/4/15Shubert Theatre - New Haven

    Absolutely amazing for such a small cast. This show far exceeded my expectations and would see it again. Took family including 15 and 12 year olds and they loved.it too.

    Ordinary and dull. The material was stilted and the humor sophomoric.

    Inialially I did not like this presentation. As time went on it was so absurd that it was funny. It was very creative. My granddaughters liked it a lot. Ages 16, 14, and 11.

    Peter Pan and the Starcatcher a Joy to Watch!

    by tristanrobin on 2/3/15Shubert Theatre - New Haven

    What a fantastic way to go into a blizzard weekend! Surprisingly, because this was a road company and not a new production by a regional theatre or a Broadway show, this is one of my top ten favorite plays I've ever seen. For me the show started upon entering the theatre. The preset setting and false proscenium were magical and breathtaking. This proscenium rivals the magnificent one produced for the Broadway production of 'The Secret Garden.' Like a facade of antique gold and other metals and gems, it shimmered and gleamed. Then, as you examined you realized it was composed of found materials - not fancy plaster work at all. Clever artistry at work - which was exhibited through the production in both sets, costumes and awesome lighting effects. The cast was brilliant - no one was inferior to their job - and they had plenty of work to do. The staging was intricate, constantly moving, smartly choreographed and beguiling to watch. With the exception of Peter and the Starcatcher (who will grow up to be Wendy), everybody plays multiple roles and they do it adroitly and cleanly. During the musical numbers (it's not a musical, but there are several songs sung), the voices are clear and pure. It would be easy to pull out Peter, Smee, the Starcatcher, Black Stache (Captain Hook) as the stand out performers, but I believe they were part of an ensemble in which every person made every moment count.

    Very minimalist set. Starts off a little confusing. Gets a little weird at times. Captain hook was hilarious. Peter is a little off.
