“An absurdly funny fantastical journey” – Entertainment Weekly
“Ridiculously imaginative….A shimmering treasure.” – The Denver Post
"Sweet enough for kids, sophisticated enough for grown-ups, this play with music is both a valentine to the innocence of childhood and the magic of stagecraft." – Broadway.com
The cast was fantastic, and clearly enjoyed the show as much, if not more, than we did. The set and stage directions were extremely inventive and creative. I would see this again and I've been telling everyone to go. It was fantastic!
My husband fell asleep, it will be very hard to convince him to see another play
Funny and serious at the same time, wonderful acting, pantomine, great cast.
Capatin black stash steals the show! Haven't laughed that hard since Book of Mormon
Great show! I would highly recommend it! the beginning is a little hard to follow but it quickly turns around and is great! very creative use of the stage and props!
Horrible................A very long first act that really was rather boring. Second half picked up a little but not enough to make an exciting new play..I was soooo disapointed...
One of the funniest plays we have seen Imagination was so creative Loved it
Very unexpected. High energy! Can't wait to see it again if it tours.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Creative and full of talent.
Terrific. Mesmerizing. Everything live theatre should be.
It was unanimous; everyone in our family voted Peter and the Starcatcher as the best part of our trip to NYC. Clever and engaging, appropriate for all audiences (we have a girl and two boys, ages 14, 11 and 9). Extremely well written and the actors were amazing Don't miss it!
What an enjoyable evening! The show was innovative and the entire cast superb, especially Christian Borle. This is a 'don't miss' show.
47th street is now the center of the theater world. Peter and the Starcatcher and Death of a Salesman show the great extremes a show can take the audience . Peter rocked. I crowed
The show bears little resemblance to the books and has none of the magic and charm that Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson put into the stories. The pacing is frenetic. The cast is constantly working; therefore trying to connect with the narrative and actors is difficult. Parents who are not ready to explain a cross-dressing nanny named Mrs. Bumbrake, or parents who are not ready to explain how two men could be attracted to one another will want to avoid this show. It's really not kid-friendly for those kids who are still sheltered. That said, my 17-year old didn't like it at all and we both couldn't wait for intermission to arrive.
Sorry but did not think this lived up to reviews. Certainly not a good choice for children-with all the snide asides and crude meanings and "gay" nanny. I took my ten year old granddaughter-she got some of it and some of the jokes like "time for bed-Pan" ridiculous. Some clever things done with ropes etc. and may have come off a bit better in small off-broadway production. Also after all the "tongue in cheek" and strange doings to have the very END come back to the original with Wendy going home to "grow up" and Peter remaining a boy had no connection to the weird goings on before. Also could have benefited from more music. Would certainly not recommend-I'll stick with the original!!
Excellent show - think Peter Pan meets Monty Python. Although this is based on a YA book, this is not meant for kids. A lot of adult humor but very funny and outrageous. Worth seeing!!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed the creative approach of this play.
Great show for adults and kids. One of the best things I've ever seen, and I've seen hundreds of broadway shows.
This show was a hit for both the adults and kids (8 and 12) in our family. The best of Dave Barry's humour from the book was cleverly translated to the stage, along with ingenious sets and clever musical numbers. Black Stag really stole the show, but everyone was terrific. We highly recommend it!
Clever, hilarious and fast moving. Equally enjoyable for kids and adults. I usually flinch when I hear that, but this one truly satisfies both audiences. We're avid theatre goers (former casting agent) and have a high bar. I would actually go again tomorrow!
