PETER PAN is presented in the striking setting of the threesixty Theatre, which will be situated at Tysons Corner Center in Virginia (1971 Chain Bridge Road at International Drive). The show is performed up in the air, the round, and all around, creating a truly unique theatrical experience. The entire interior is lit with more than 15,000 square feet of Hi Resolution projection so that both cast and audience are immersed in a virtual Neverland. When Peter and Wendy fly to Neverland, audience members will feel the effect in the pit of their stomachs as they “fly†with the beloved characters over 200 square miles of virtual London and beyond.

This remarkable and beautiful production premiered in London's Kensington Gardens, the original home of Peter Pan. Seen by more than 750,000 theatergoers worldwide to date, Peter Pan - The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up was created by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie. One night, Peter flies into the London nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael, teaches them to fly and leads them to the magical Neverland, second to the right and straight on till morning,where they live with Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys and meet the notorious Captain Hook. The tale of PETER PAN has been adapted many times, including a Walt Disney animated film, a Broadway musical, and an Emmy Award-winning TV special. However, it was not until this production, presented by threesixty entertainment, that PETER PAN was performed in London's Kensington Gardens, where Barrie was first inspired to create the character and where the original statue of Peter Pan has stood since 1912.

PETER PAN is directed by award-winning director Thom Southerland and designed by seven-time Olivier Award winner William Dudley. Thom Southerland and Tanya Ronder are co-adaptors of PETER PAN from the J.M. Barrie story, with original music composed by Benjamin Wallfisch and additional music by Howard Herrick. Choreography and movement creator is Gyspy Snider, co-founder of the internationally acclaimed Les 7 Doigts de la Main.
