Reimagined PETER PAN To Embark On National Tour
According to Variety, the reimagined production of PETER PAN by Three Sixty, currently playing in San Fransisco, will embark on a National Tour sometime in the fall. Tour dates have not yet been announced, however, the multi-media spectacular is scheduled to play out in San Fransisco through October. Producers tell Variety that Los Angeles will likely be the next stop, with New York also in the mix. Producers are seeking to make special arrangements with Actor's Equity for the tour.
Following sell-outs, in both Kensington Gardens and The O2 in London last year, Three Sixty Entertainment's production of "PETER PAN" moved lock, stock and barrel to San Francisco, where it is performed in Ferry Park, following its opening on May 9. San Francisco has already sold more than 50,000 tickets and had a multi-million dollar advance for the run prior to its 9 May opening. This production of "PETER PAN" has broken box office records wherever it has played and, at its first outing in Kensington Gardens, the production took in excess of £5 million at the box office, selling over 150,000 tickets. The producers are now planning to extend the initial 18 week run in San Francisco's Ferry Park.
The combination of a major West End production and the unique Kensington Gardens style outdoor environment that is set up at each location has led to international cities vying to host future visits of the production.
A second production of Peter Pan will open an Australasian tour in March 2011. True to George Bernard Shaw's description of "Peter Pan": "Ostensibly a holiday entertainment for children but really a play for grown-up people," this play for families has proved to be an enormous success with adults in their own right.
With its breathtaking and specially-commissioned 360-degree projected scenic design, this production of "PETER PAN" wowed London critics and dazzled the capital's audiences. Celebrities, ranging from Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall through The Beckhams and Russell Crowe to Helena Bonham Carter and her family, flocked to the production and became a must-see event. This "PETER PAN" has sold in excess of 250,000 tickets since first opening in London last summer.
