“Peter and the Starcatcher” is a Tony Award® winning theatrical masterpiece - a spectacular journey into the magical world of Neverland. Developed as a prequel to Peter Pan by Disney Theatrical Group, the play features a hilarious story of adventure, bravery, and the everlasting spirit of childhood.  This thrilling origin story of the “Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up” is packed with swashbuckling pirates, mysterious islanders, and a trunk full of ‘starstuff.’ Audiences will enjoy the blend of heart, humor, and high-seas adventure transformed into a theatrical experience for all ages. A not-to-be-missed, inventive, and wildly entertaining journey to Neverland before the legend begins awaits!
 
“Every good story has layers, and the tale of the boy who never grew up is no exception. This is one of those magical pieces that lets our performers stretch their talents and imagination, exploring the origins of the story we think we know,” shares Jesse Sullivan, the production’s director.  “In this Neverland, everyone's a pirate, everyone's a lost boy, and of course, everyone wants to see if they can fly!”
