Review: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at Copley Theatre, Aurora IL
by Tina St. Angelo Wetzel - August 02, 2024
t tells the story of how he became Peter Pan and provides the backstory of Peter and his forever nemesis Captain Hook. I believe that kids under the age of 13 probably won’t understand the story. The script is geared to adults and has some groan worthy (purposely written) lines. The cast of 16 under the direction of Nate Cohen (Paramount debut) will leave you breathless, laughing and a little teary eyed.
