From the opening scene to the eagerly awaited flying finale Peter Pan dazzled with song, dance and scenery. But nothing was more astounding than Cathy Rigby! She defies aging and has only grown more masterful in the role I first saw her in as a young woman. At that time she brought exuberance and joy to the part of Peter. The years in between have been quite kind and, if anything, she is more exuberant and masterful, whether on the stage or jostling through the air at breakneck speed. The show is extremely well-cast. J. M. Barrie's timeless gem sparkles like pixie dust under the magic of Cathy and Peter, who, we all know - like father and Captain Hook - are really the same person! Maybe we do have to grow up, but we don't have to grow old. Thank you Mr. Barrie, Peter Pan, and especially Cathy Rigby for two plus hours of sheer happiness.

Favorite moment: Peter's arrival onto the stage - he KNOWS how to make an entrance! @
