THE STORY Wendy Darling loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael and John. But when her father announces she must move out of the nursery, Peter Pan comes to visit the children and whisks them away to Never Land. Their adventure introduces them to the Lost Boys, mermaids, Indians and even the infamous pirate, Captain Hook!
Musical Difficulty There are very few solo numbers for the principals, but there are many solo lines in the ensemble numbers which feature the whole cast and spotlight the leads.
THE SONGS
Considerations Based on the Disney film and J.M. Barrie’s enchanting play, Disney’s PETER PAN JR. is a modern version of the timeless tale about a boy who wouldn’t grow up –with no flying required! That’s right, no extra costs to make your cast fly, with the opportunity to still include such Disney classics as “Following the Leader,” “You Can Fly,” “The Second Star to the Right” and “Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me.”
Fly to Your Heart; The Elegant Captain Hook; The Second Star to the Right; You Can Fly; Yo Ho, A Pirates Life for Me; Never Smile at a Crocodile; Following the Leader; Sunbeams and Sea; What Makes the Brave Man Brave; Your Mother and Mine; Walk the Plank
