A wildly theatrical, hilarious and innovative retelling of how a miserable orphan came to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up, Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old legend of Peter Pan. Based on the best-selling Disney-Hyperion novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Peter and the Starcatcher is directed by Tony Award-winning actor Roger Rees and Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers and written by Tony Award nominee Rick Elice. A play for all ages, Peter and the Starcatcher was nominated for nine Tony’s, ultimately winning five.
