To open the new season with Celebrity Attractions in Little Rock, they are bringing PETER PAN to the Robinson Center stage, and Broadway World is excited! To be honest, I haven’t seen this show since Cathy Rigby, so I am beyond thrilled to see what this company has created.

Dear Readers, I’m of two minds in reviewing this revised production of “Peter Pan” currently playing at the Paramount. First as a season ticket holder who came to the show with no kids and wants a quality musical, I question the inclusion of this in the season and find it not all that great, but from the viewpoint of a kids show, it has its merits.

The Tony-nominated LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS has announced that, for the third straight year in a row, its recently concluded “Broadway Series” season -- as well as its presentation of one-night specialty acts -- broke all-time box office records for attendance, single tickets, and overall revenue.

Aimed at offering a more progressive framework that tweaks the infamous story, this admirable revised version reflects a purposefully modern approach to the classic story, attempting to balance the original's charm and whimsy with contemporary sensibilities. This brand new national tour continues at Segerstrom Center for the Arts thru August 18.
