Summary: PETER PAN
Review: Peter Pan is the classic tale about a boy who wouldn't grow up. One quiet night, as the Darling children lay fast asleep in their beds, Peter Pan comes to their nursery window in search of his shadow. As he tries to get it to stick on, he awakens the eldest of the Darling children, Wendy. Peter beckons Wendy and her younger bothers, John and Michael to come away with him to the magical island of Neverland, where you can never grow old. From fairies to Indians to pirates and their evil Captain Hook, Peter Pan takes you away on a magical journey that you will never forget. This is the best version of the best fairytale ever. It is definitely recommended for people of all ages. Share the magic with your family as you fly away into the wondrous world of Peter Pan.

Summary: Peter pan :Cathy Rigby
Review: She reminds me of a little boy from Neverland. So did Mary Martin but Cathy's voice was pure kid and Mary Martin didn't have a kid voice to her singing.

Paul and Cryil both stole the show.

Tiger lilly who played by Sandra lee was perfect for the part in Mary Martin. I am debating on buying the dvd because i own only vhs in my room but my parents own a DVD player

Summary: the classic musical flies again!
Review: The classic Broadway and television musical PETER PAN has come back to life thanks to acclaimed gymnast and Broadway star Cathy Rigby, who has made the role her own in several Broadway incarnations and national tours over the last decade.

Cathy Rigby's PETER PAN maintains the spirit and integrity of the much-loved Mary Martin version but adds a few modern touches to keep in step with theatregoers. Choreographer Patti Colombo offers a breathtaking new STOMP-like spin to the "Ugg-A-Wugg" musical number, and takes advantage of Rigby's history as an Olympic gymnast in the "I'm Flying" ballet.

Filmed before a live audience during a performance at the La Mirada Theatre, this new PETER PAN features an impressive supporting cast headed by Paul Schoeffler in the traditional dual-roles of Mr Darling and Captain Hook. Elisa Sagardia plays a delightful Wendy and Barbara McCulloh is a touching Mrs Darling as well as a cunning Mermaid in the Marooner's Rock scene.

Dana Solimando plays both maid Liza as well as Tiger Lily (which sadly means the omission of "Liza's Ballet" which was a highlight in the Mary Martin version). Aileen Quinn (who played the title role in the film version of ANNIE as well as the Canon MovieTales version of THE FROG PRINCE) makes a welcome appearance as Lost Boy Tootles. Drake English and Barry Cavanagh play Wendy's younger siblings John and Michael.

This is a thrilling production with superb theatrical values. It should be a mandatory DVD in any Broadway-lovers collection.

The DVD includes backstage footage and sing-along supplements.

Summary: "Peter Pan'!!! Cathy gets the GOLD !
Review: The heart and soul (not to mention voice,Athletic and acting ability Cathy puts into her "Peter Pan" is nothing less than a perfect "10". I have been a "Peter Pan" fan since I first picked up the book. Sir James Barrie wrote this novel almost 100 years ago. His "Peter Pan" is a complicated, endearing, adventursome, mischevious character.(Just read the book if you don't believe me.)He is selfish and spoiled at times... sometimes needy and lonesome...but always optimistic and ready to take on the next adventure. I hope I never grow up and forget to be like Peter.

If I could fly, I would close my eyes, think a happy thought, sprinkle a little fairy dust... and soar to Neverland! Since I can't fly... I guess I will just have to get the video! Don't miss it!

Summary: I Can't Watch It
Review: The production itself is definitely a five star production. I saw it on Broadway and again on A&E. But my blasted DVD simply won't play the DVD. Is anyone else having this problem? I've bought two copies of it so far, and nothing happens on the screen. It's not my player; it has no trouble playing any other DVD. But this one: Nothing. As of this point I'd highly recommend sticking with video tape.

Summary: PETER PAN!
Review: THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT. PERSONALLY, I LOVE THE SHOW ITSELF. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN IT. SEEING THIS VIDEO MADE ME WANT TO EVEN MORE. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOOO GREAT. CATHY RIGBY WAS AMAZING. I SAW HER IN SEUSSICAL, WHICH I DIDNT LIKE SO MUCH ONLY BECAUSE OF A NAMELESS CHILD POPSTAR. SHE STILL WAS AMAZING. THE WHOLE CAST WAS PERFECT! I THINK THAT A SORT OF LIVE TV SHOWING SHOULD HAPPEN. THE CAST COULD GO BACK AND PERFORM THE SHOW AGAIN. THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY AWESOME!! I REALLY LOVED THIS MOVIE (AS YOU CAN TELL), SO EVERYBODY BUY IT!! I PRMOISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED.

Summary: A Thrilling Production
Review: This musical,before closing on Broadway,was filmed in it's complete state,with the shows lead Cathy Rigby.

The show enjoyed a great touring season before coming to Broadway at the Marquis Theatre.

Cathy is great as Pan,and brings back fond memories of the last two great Broadway incarnations,Mary Martin and Sandy Duncan.

Other noteworthys in the cast are Elisa Sargardia as Wendy and Dana Solimando as Liza.

This was a great highlight last season on Broadway,and now is immortalised just like Martin's version,in this stunning A & E presentation.

You must buy this musical.

Summary: Way better then the original
Review: This new improved version of the classic tale Peter Pan is far better then the 1955 Peter Pan starring Mary Martin. The costumes, sets, and actors were far better then the ones in the 1955 version. Although some of the parts of the show were not in the original version(like the rock scene) but I thought that part was pretty good. The flying sceans were spectacular. I thought that they could of used boys for the lost BOYS instead of adults. Also the 1955 version with Mary Martin could have used a little better scenery and acting. And in the Mary Martin version you are able to notice every little mistake for some reason. Over all i think this version is far better then the original.

Summary: A Peter Pan for the New Millenium
Review: This new Peter Pan is excellent family entertainment. The acting is much more subtle than the Mary Martin version and Cathy Rigby is surprisingly effective in the role. Her gymnastics background is particularly evident in the truly spectacular flying scenes. The three Darling children are all excellent actors and singers -- Wendy in particular. Cathy Rigby is a very good singer and a competent actress, but I missed the enthusiam and strong voice that Mary Martin brought to the role. The overall production is lusher than the 1950's version -- sets, costumes and lighting are all much improved. If there is a weak link in Peter Pan, it is in the role of Tiger Lily. Her voice is too soft, although she is a good dancer. It does seem, however, that casting the role with a real Native American would have worked better. In closing, this production is a definite improvement over the Mary Martin version and I highly recommend it.
