Take a Trip to Neverland with Atlanta Lyric Theatre's PETER PAN This December

Celebrate the holidays as Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick Tinkerbell visit the nursery of the Darling children and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates, and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook. This high-flying fantasy will delight audiences of all ages when Atlanta Lyric Theatre's new production of PETER PAN plays the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on December 9 & 10.

Based on Sir J.M. Barrie's timeless tale, and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green, PETER PAN is one of the most beloved family favorites of all time. The musical includes the memorable songs, "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up" and "Never Never Land." It's truly the perfect show for the child in all of us who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up.

The Atlanta Lyric production features Leslie Bellair as Peter Pan, Dan Britt as Captain Hook, Joseph Harris as Mr. Smee, Debra Stipe as Mrs. Darling, and Cindy Mora Reiseras Tiger Lily. The Darling children are played by Mary Caroline Owens as Wendy, Evan Bauer as John and Parker Balkwill as Michael.
