I also want to say that compared to what I saw back in August, Matthew Saldivar has really grown into his role. He's really upped the camp level and is just hilarious.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
I love re-watching the video that was shot during rehearsals for the show when it was at the NYTW. Hearing them talk about the creative process and seeing them make magic.
Try to search for it (I believe one of the videos was shot by Andrew Keenan-Bolger?)

I saw all 4 of the best play nominees last season and Clybourne Park was by far my least favorite. I absolutely adored Peter and the Starcatcher, magical really is the best way to describe it. I saw it twice with Borle and was completely enchanted both times.
Thank God it's going to tour/live a long life in regionals. Going from the White Way too soon. Maybe if it moved back off-broadway it could have a longer run?
Glad you liked it, too, Jordan! I was about to get away tear free, when I heard a 9 year old sob behind me. Then I lost it.
I got to see it twice, and loved it beyond words. So "theatrical".
I, too, will never understand how it won just about everything else it was nominated for, but failed to get the Best Play nod.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
I think that this was truly magical. This past season was the first time that I saw all the plays that were up for the Tony. I have to say that Peter was the best one of the bunch. And, one of the most magical things that I have seen in a long time play or musical.
I am sad that this is closing soon. However, I think that for a play with an open ended run, it did rather well.

I still think that Tony's rightful owner is Judith but Celia was so wonderful in this. I'm very excited that they're making a film out of this since film will only help to add more magic to the story and more tears, I'm sure. Lol
I never saw the other plays up for Best Play, but when I first saw this in August, I had to Google the results at intermission because I couldn't remember if Best Play was one of the awards they won.
I'm not entirely sure about my feelings about the movie yet. Part of me says I will hate it because all of that theater "magic" of ropes and yellow gloves etc. will not be in the movie, but the other half is thinking, omgaahh I can watch it over and over and it'll be more accessible!
