Peter and the Starcatcher Tickets

I brought my ten year old son and he enjoyed it. Funny and true to the book for the most part.

Very good show - funny! Entertaining for a wide variety of ages. My 12 year old daughter loved it!

Awesome show and great characters! This show is worth seeing!

First half of this play was very slow and sort of boring. Second half was hilarious and definitely worth the wait.

I don't really know what I expected but this was definitely different from what I imagined - but in a good way! This is a very creative and unique show and VERY funny! I took my 12 year old son and we both laughed out loud and had a great time. The actors were all great in their roles and we would definitely recommend it to friends.

Would have liked more music and songs. Staging was good and worked well with the movement of cast.

This show was full of witicisms and subtle jokes as well as the more obvious fart joke. I, personally enjoyed the former more (of course I enjoyed the farts, too!) but the rest of the audience didn't understand most of them. It was unfortunate because I felt like the only one laughing most of the time. I would definitely recommend this show to people of intelligence as well as those lower on the IQ scale. Also, all of the acting was near perfect... there were a few people I would recast, but overall I loved it.

First act ... Dark, not in mood but in lighting. Hard to understand what was going on. Laughs came from word play using modern slang in a Victorian setting (ha ha). Second better...more light...better anunciation... Is the theater air conditioned? Hard to tell theater hot and stuffy.

What can I say, this was a fantastic play from start to finish. Fast and very witty dialogue made the whole night go by so fast. Can't wait to see it again

Fun old school theatrical event. I wish there was a cd of the music.

We thought the delivery was a bit rushed and that we may have missed hearing some of the funny lines because of this. Overall the show is clever and funny.

What a sweet, inspired, energetic and delightful show. The guy who played Black 'Stache was hysterical and awesome. If you've never seen this show, it's worth catching.

This show was a lot of fun! I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it - the actors, set, costumes, story, etc.!

Peter and the Star Catcher is a funny and irreverent look at Peter Pan's origin story. It's a cross between Mel Brooks and Monty Python. Very entertaining and humorous. Fun for older elementary kids on up.

The pros: Wonderful staging and ensemble movement. The cons: Sophomoric humor, not much plot, overacting by the pirate captain and the girl. If your idea of the height of humor is "Oh my god" repeated for five minutes in different ways, then this is the play for you. Otherwise, steer clear.

"Peter and the Starcatcher", the first national tour direct from Broadway, boasts a phenomenal cast and is rife with inventive staging. It evokes a Monty Pythonesque style of humor, satirizing and yet humanizing, the boy who refused to grow up. Based on Dave Barry's novel, the play, along with several songs and musical accompaniment throughout, does a deft job of reimagining how Peter Pan flew into Wendy's room that one fateful night at the turn of the century. It's a crowd pleaser, for sure. A brief note on the Hippodrome's "partial view" seating for this production--don't buy them and turn in your tickets for new ones if you bought them. This production uses a piano player and drummer on the apron of the stage, high atop metal risers, that block the view of a quarter of the house on either side.

I enjoyed the creative use of simple props to fuel the imagination. The actors were all very animated.

My wife and I have been huge fans of the arts including plays, musicals and theater of all kind. We have been to numerous Broadway plays and were looking forward to taking our daughter (age 11) to see this play after she had read the book with the same name and loved it. We arranged a trip to Chicago around the dates the play was playing in the city. It was terrible. Not only did it seem to be an unimaginative, "low-budget, low quality" production, even comparing it to other touring plays, but it was not appropriate for my young daughter-despite it begin advertised as appropriate for children age 10 and up. It destroyed a nice children's story and was full of inappropriate innuendo and vulgar references. It was the worst play of the numerous plays we have ever seen. It is a shame that Broadway has to destroy a nice children's story to push their political and moral agenda.

After having seen Cathy Rigby in Peter Pan, I had high expectations of this play. I have never been so disappointed ! All 3 of us came away feeling the story was a major let down. I have been to dozens of plays and musicals, Wicked and Chicago I have been to 4 times. This is easily the play I would put at the bottom of the list, as far as enjoyment. All 3 of us said, "this is one I will never waste my money on again."

Great show for the family. Just enough modern references to be timely and yet remained timeless.
