Book writer Larissa FastHorse preserves the magic of Peter Pan in a new adaptation while deepening the classic story at its heart.
STORY BY Ruthie Fierberg
Growing up, Larissa FastHorse avoided Peter Pan. As a Native American from the Sicangu Lakota nation, FastHorse had heard about the hurtful portrayals of Indigenous people in the story — be it the play or novel or musical — and she didn’t want to engage. Decades later, and now a Broadway playwright, FastHorse was asked to rewrite the musical’s book for a new Peter Pan tour. She fully intended to turn the job down but decided to read the script from the 1954 Jerome Robbins-helmed production as a courtesy. What FastHorse found surprised her.
“I could see the magic for children,” FastHorse told Broadway News. “Everyone loves a magical escape world, and this one is complicated and difficult. I was like, ‘Oh, Peter’s super complicated,’ and I love complex things for young people. That was really exciting to me. And the comedy writer in me loves the pirates. They’re funny and ridiculous.”
“I realized there was so much good to be saved,” FastHorse continued. “I was like, ‘If we could just take the harmful things out, what a gift to bring all of this magic to a new generation.’” FastHorse signed on. Over the course of two years, she and director Lonny Price created a new Peter Pan which honored the musical that generations of audiences love while trimming it down (from three hours with two intermissions to two hours with one), filling dramaturgical gaps and dignifying the portrayal of the “Indians” in Neverland and the women and girls throughout.
“We wanted the grandparents who have had this with them their whole life to share the same memories with grandchildren today,” FastHorse said. “But we also want it to not cause problems.”
When it comes to Neverland’s tribe of Indians, FastHorse identified flaws. “They’re the only people in their Neverland that couldn’t figure out English, which is wild,” said the playwright. “Everybody else can speak English — the pirates from all over the world can all speak English but native people can’t do it.”
“They were clearly not being treated as full, human people with the same capabilities as everyone else,” she added. “Also, if you look at the Robbins version, there is never any explanation about why [the natives] are there [in Neverland] or why Peter and the Lost Boys and the Pirates are all trying to kill them. The underlying material assumption is: If they’re Indians, you try to kill them and no explanation is necessary. That’s not cool. That’s not something you want to teach children.”
To address these gaps, FastHorse strategized within the established rules of Neverland, a place where people never grow up.
In line with that longstanding premise, FastHorse’s reimagined script posits that when someone is the last of their people on Earth, they go to Neverland to preserve their culture. What results is a blended tribe of multiple Indigenous nations. For example, FastHorse explained, “[Actor] Hannah Schmidt — who is one white person in the tribe — her actual roots come from Eastern Europe. So we said, ‘Great, you’ll play a version of yourself of this ancient Slavic culture and have a costume and a [character] name inspired by that. You’re not just [vaguely] Indigenous.’”
“We list the [character’s] name in the program [not just “tribe member”] intentionally so that people think a little bit about who they are and where they come from,” she continued. “Because there are people Indigenous to everywhere.”
FastHorse and costume designer Sarafina Bush collaborated to ensure the textiles used for each tribesperson reflect individual Indigenous societies from around the world — while also working to unify aspects that indicate they’re all part of one Neverland culture. This tour’s original cast inspired characters of Olmec (native to Mexico), Nok (Western Africa) and Qauqaut (Taiwan) heritage — to name a few. But future casts — both on tour and, FastHorse hopes, in any production — will pay tribute to first-nation cultures inspired by its actors. With this built-in logic, the harmful practice of Redface (non-native people playing native roles) in Peter Pan can be discontinued, actors can authentically play Indigenous roles and audiences can expand their knowledge of global civilizations.
No matter who comprises this tribe, they are still at odds with Peter and the Lost Boys. FastHorse decided “they’re fighting over resources,” she said. In particular, the scribe noticed that the Lost Boys don’t have pockets — and this is a source of sadness. So, FastHorse decided that one element feeding this feud is that the tribe, led by Tiger Lily, stole the Lost Boys’ pockets. In FastHorse’s adaptation, cleverness and expansion abounds. Those sensibilities also apply to the female characters. Not only is Tiger Lily the leader (no longer the chief’s daughter), but Wendy is written as more well-rounded. “In every scene of Neverland, Wendy was working,” FastHorse said of the original material. “She was working to take care of men, and the assumption was Neverland was fun for her because the most fun thing that had happened to a woman was to take care of men.”
That premise is “1) not something that girls today are going to get; they’re going to be confused and 2) not something I want to show little girls,” FastHorse added. Yet FastHorse didn’t excise the compassion and kindness inherent to Wendy: “She still does care for her brothers and brings her little brothers along on the adventure — and she doesn’t have to do that.”
But in FastHorse’s version of Wendy’s trip to Neverland, the young girl participates in the experience fully. Wendy also gets a song and interacts with Tiger Lily in a brand-new scene just between the two girls.
Still, FastHorse didn’t stop there when mining for substance. During that first read — when FastHorse was planning to reject the job — she specifically noticed the complexity of the title character. “On one hand he’s youth, joy and freedom, and on the other, he is awkward and does not like girls,” FastHorse said. “He has ‘grown up’ rejected and alone, and he has all the resulting problems from that.”
To emphasize the rich complexity of Peter, FastHorse and Price reintroduced the solo “When I Went Home,” which was originally written for the character of Peter but was cut after the musical’s pre-Broadway world premiere in San Francisco because Mary Martin, who originated the role, found it too depressing.
“We feel like it really gives you insight into Peter,” FastHorse said of the tune. “It’s about why he made a choice to stay in Neverland, and it was a choice. It really gives him a lot of depth and understanding.”
Exactly the two qualities FastHorse has infused into this Peter Pan for a new generation.

SIR J.M. BARRIE (Author, Original Play) (1860–1937) was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland. When their parents died, Barrie became guardian to three boys whom he had met in Kensington Gardens in 1897. The boys are thought to be the inspiration for the creation of Peter Pan. Peter Pan first took place in 1904 and remarkably Barrie gifted the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London in 1929, later extended for perpetuity in the U.K.
CAROLYN LEIGH (Lyricist) (1926–1983) is perhaps best known as the lyricist of that classic of the musical theatre, Peter Pan. She not only created the lyrics but was also the originator of the idea for a musical about the playground for adults called Wall Street – and this became the musical How Now, Dow Jones on which she collaborated with Elmer Bernstein and for which she received a Tony nomination. Before Mr. Bernstein, her partner was mainly Cy Coleman and as a words and music team they gave the nation some of its top popular hits: “Witchcraft,” “The Best Is Yet to Come,” “Firefly,” “Hey, Look Me Over,” “Pass Me By” and “When in Rome.” They also gave Broadway one of its most delicious scores in Wildcat, starring Lucille Ball and Little Me starring Sid Caesar.
MORRIS “MOOSE” CHARLAP (Composer) (1928–1974) wrote the
original score for the 1954 Broadway musical Peter Pan starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard. The show was presented as a limited 16-week engagement and before opening night every performance was sold out. Charlap went on to write the scores for Broadway’s Woop-Up (1958), The Conquering Hero (1961) and Kelly (1965).
BETTY COMDEN (1917–2006) and ADOLPH GREEN (1914–2002) (Additional Lyrics), recipients of the 1991 Kennedy Center Honors, began as a group called The Revuers, which included Judy Holliday. Their first musical was On the Town, also the first for Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins and for which they wrote the book and lyrics and two leading roles for themselves. With Bernstein they also collaborated on Wonderful Town. With Jule Styne they wrote book and/ or lyrics to Bells Are Ringing, Do Re Mi, Say Darling, Subways Are for Sleeping, and Hallelujah, Baby! They also created book and/or lyrics to Applause and On the Twentieth Century and The Will Rogers Follies. They have received six Tony Awards. Their many movie musicals include The Band Wagon, On the Town, Bells Are Ringing, It’s Always Fair Weather, and Singin’ in the Rain, which was voted one of the ten best films of all time by the American Film Institute. Their non-musical films are Auntie Mame and What a Way to Go. Members of the Dramatists Guild Council, they enjoyed performing their own works under the title A Party With Comden and Green.
AMANDA GREEN (Additional Lyrics) is proud to contribute additional lyrics to this beautiful bold re-imagining of Peter Pan and the work of her late great father, the brilliant Adolph Green & Betty Comden. She’s a two-time Tony Award and Grammy Award-nominated lyricist and composer, a four-time Drama Desk Award nominee, Frederick Loewe Award winner for Best Original Composition for the theatre and the Larson Award. Broadway: Mr. Saturday Night starring Billy Crystal (2022, Lyrics), Hands On A Hardbody (Lyrics & CoComposer), Bring It On (Co-Lyrics with Lin Manuel Miranda), High Fidelity (Lyrics). Revivals: Kiss Me, Kate (starring Kelli O’Hara; Additional Book & Lyrics) and On the Twentieth Century (starring Kristin Chenoweth; Additional Lyrics).

JULE STYNE (Additional Music) (1905–1994). Broadway: Hallelujah, Baby!; Gentleman Prefer Blondes; Peter Pan; Bells Are Ringing; Gypsy; Funny Girl. He is considered one of the greatest composers in the history of American musical theatre. Collaborators include Sammy Cahn, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Merrill, Leo Robin and E.Y. Harburg. He has composed legendary hits such as “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “The Party’s Over,” “Let It Snow!,” “People,” “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and Oscar-winning “Three Coins in the Fountain.” Jule Styne was elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Theater Hall of Fame and is a Kennedy Center Honoree.
JEROME ROBBINS (Original Director and Choreographer) (1918–1998) is world renowned for his work as a choreographer of ballets, as well as his work as a choreographer/director in theatre, movies, and television. His Broadway shows include On the Town, Billion Dollar Baby, High Button Shoes, West Side Story, The King and I, Gypsy, Peter Pan, Miss Liberty, Call Me Madam, and Fiddler on the Roof. His last Broadway production in 1989, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director.
