PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, a grown up’s prequel to Peter Pan, is the innovative and imaginative musical play
based on the best-­‐selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. A company of a dozen actors play more than a
hundred unforgettable characters, all on a journey to answer the century-­‐old question: How did Peter Pan become The
Boy Who Never Grew Up? This epic origin story of popular culture’s most enduring and beloved character proves that
your imagination is the most captivating place in the world.
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER won five 2012 Tony Awards (the most of any play of the 2011-2012 season) and
was named one of New York Times, New York Magazine and New Yorker’s Top 10 Shows of the Year.
New York Times hails PETER AND THE STARCATCHER as "the most exhilarating storytelling on Broadway in
decades,” Entertainment Weekly calls PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, “an absurdly funny fantastical journey,” and
Time Out New York raves “this show soars deliriously high and gloriously far.”
The design team of PETER AND THE STARCATCHER includes Donyale Werle (Scenic Design), Paloma Young
(Costume Design), Jeff Croiter (Lighting Design), Darron L West (Sound Design), who all won Tony Awards for their
work on the show, along with Steven Hoggett (Movement), Wayne Barker (Music), Jacob Grigolia-Rosenbaum (Fight
Direction) and Marco Paguia (Music Supervision).
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER is produced by Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Greg Schaffert, Eva Price, Tom Smedes
and Disney Theatrical Productions.
