Sunday 21st December 2024 - SHOW CANCELLED
After checking recent listing by the Adelaide Festival Centre, we received the sad news the show has been cancelled for Adelaide :(
A play by Rick Elice Based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Music by Wayne Barker.
The Tony Award winning, Broadway smash hit Peter and the Starcatcher is coming to Adelaide.
Before Neverland there was an Island. Before Captain Hook, a pirate. Before Wendy, her mother Molly. Before Peter, a nameless boy.
Originally developed by Disney Theatrical Group, written by Rick Elice (Jersey Boys), this all-new production is reimagined by acclaimed Dead Puppet Society.
The Australian production features a star-studded ensemble cast including Otis Dhanji from blockbuster Aquaman and Netflix hit The Unlisted as Boy / Peter; one of Australia’s most recognisable comedy faces Colin Lane from duo Lano & Woodley as Black Stache; and television star Olivia Deeble, known for roles on Home and Away, More Than This and Secret Society of Second Born Royals, as Molly.
Also featuring in the Peter Pan prequel story is Ryan Gonzalez (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, In The Heights) as Fighting Prawn; Paul Capsis (La Cage aux Folles, Head On, The Rocky Horror Show) as Slank and Hawking Clam; Hugh Parker (The Office, The Family Law) as Captain Scott; Morgan Francis (Boy, Lost) as Prentiss; and Alison Whyte (Death of a Salesman, Groundhog Day The Musical, The Dressmaker) as Lord Aster.
Completing the company, which inhabits over 100 characters in this production full of fantasy and adventure, is Leon Cain and Benjin Maza, along with offstage covers James Haxby, Erika Naddei and Natasha Veselinovic, and on-stage musicians Annie Silva-McKnight, James Dobinson and Luke Volker.
Experience the joy as we jump aboard this epic voyage and discover the untold story of Neverland.
