Christopher Walken discusses PETER PAN LIVE!

NBC's hotly anticipated live telecast of the beloved Golden Age musical PETER PAN is less than 2 weeks away and a fresh new promotional video interview with iconic stage and screen star Christopher Walken is now available to view.

"We rehearsed this very much like you would for a musical," Walken observes of the rehearsal process.

"It's like a football game or something," Walken sagely observes of the live aspect of the entertainment event.

"I've been doing this for a long time," Walken says of his song-and-dance background.

"I'm doing what I did when I was 10 years old," Walken shares of his return to his theatre roots with this live production.

The official description of NBC's PETER PAN LIVE! is as follows: "Preparing to sprinkle fairy dust across America, NBC presents a bold new LIVE television version of the classic Broadway musical that will gather friends, families and anyone who refuses to ever grow up.

Get ready for show-stopping stars, stunning costumes, extravagant sets and delightful music that will have everyone in your home singing along.
