The Santa Barbara Theatre presents a rare revival: Leonard Bernstein's PETER PAN, the classic fantasy play by J. M. Barrie and the first production of the complete musical score by Leonard Bernstein.

Fly to the Never Land with Peter and the Darling Children for adventures with Tinkerbell, Captain Hook, pirates, Indians, lost boys, fairies and mermaids.  SBT presents J. M. Barrie's classic fantasy play in the first-ever fully staged production to use Leonard Bernstein's complete musical score - the score as the composer originally wrote and intended it for a 1950 Broadway production with Boris Karloff and Jean Arthur, including two songs and incidental music never used in that production.  Alexander Frey, who reconstructed Bernstein's "lost" score for a critically acclaimed CD, travels from Berlin to conduct the live orchestra.

Adapted from the book by J.M. Barrie, with music and Lyrics by Leonard Bernstein. Directed by Albert Ihde, with musical Director Richard Weiss, and with conductor Alexander Frey.
Featuring a cast of 25 including Donald Agnelli, Sarah Bierstock, Corina Boettger, Chet Carlin, Carolyn Hennesy and Robert Yacko
