BWW Reviews: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER National Tour - Peter and the Star Vehicle
by Tim Shawver - February 06, 2014
Origin stories get a headstart. An audience follows deeper a familiar character. Clever, new exposition regarding established plot points is engaging and often delightful. Origin stories can be the flashback episode of a water cooler weekly serial. They can be the other side of a story like WICKED. They can be the how did the super hero discover their super-powers story or a combination of all three like PETER AND THE STARCATCHER. The show, based on Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's book of similar name, calls itself 'a Grownup's Prequel to Peter Pan'. And in it, the devices of the origin story meet a play already propelled by a talented staging, hilarious incongruity, and impressive performances. The National Tour visits Tempe's Gammage Auditorium January 14th through 19th.
