Posted: 9/3/14 at 1:38pmI love the modern touch they have taken. I can't wait to see what they've do for the rest.

I really like the costume. It's different than the design(s) I've seen used in other productions of the musical, but is still evocative enough of the 'classic' Pan costume so as to not feel out of place (IMO, anyway). I also like the wig they've given her.
I can't wait to see what costume designer Catherine Zuber does for the rest of the characters.

So far I love the casting, especially O`Hara and Borle as Mr & Mrs.Darling. The only
thing I am worried about is a 70 year old Walken as Hook. Flubs seems inevitable.
That being said, I do believe that no matter who's in the cast the show is going to
be criticized, and also there might be a drop in the rates of viewers. Although a
fan of Live television musicals not a fan of the piece.

Posted: 9/24/14 at 8:39pmAllison looks truly stunning as Peter. But...am I the only one who just feels like Hook's outfit is...cheap?

Posted: 9/24/14 at 8:40pmThis looks like community theater kabuki.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

That image of the two of them is very odd. Walken looks completely over the top, though that may be what they're going for.
The first image of Williams looked like her father to me.

It is likely not THE costume they will use, just a quick mock up. They have time.
And wow....what an ageist thing to say: he'll automatically mess up because he's 70? Think of all the people we see live, 8 shows a week, doing just fine: Angela Lansbury and all the women that have been playing Bethe (all in their mid to late 60s)
Sheesh. The man is a professional, through and through, I think he's earned respect.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

"It is likely not THE costume they will use."
Actually, that image IS the official 'first look' for Walken's Hook, so, yes, it is what they're using, and I personally think it looks great. Catherine Zuber's 2 for 2 so far on the costuming choices she's made for the show.

Am I the only one that thinks her costume and overall look are TERRIBLE?
If I am, then that's fine...
But I really really really hate her costume.

It's one of the better Pan costumes I have seen.
Had she been in tights, I'd have screamed bloody murder.

But the spandex? And the weird mesh?
I guess it's at least as terrible as 99% of the ones you might find online...but I hoped for more.
Still love this article...

Best quotes:
"Judging by his outfit, Peter Pan is the naughtiest Bennigan's waiter of all time."
"Allison is here to prove that "Peter Pan" is shorthand for "Young Peter Gallagher in a Kohl's Catalog.""
And my favorite...
"Peter Pan is a Boy Scout whose only merit badge is in Moisturizing."

Not the biggest fan of the spandex, but it is difficult to build an accurate Pan costume in the materials outlined by Barrie - autumn leaves, cobwebs, sap and skeleton leaves..
As far as the mesh, I see nothing wrong with it.
Hoped for more? More what? I am confused by that.
It is far more accurate to what Pan might wear than a well tailored tunic and tights, which is the opposite of what Barrie wanted and not at all what was worn in the original 1904 stage production.

Posted: 10/7/14 at 4:40pmI enjoy that a bunch of the lost boys are Newsies. But what's with all the mermen? Unless they're expanding the marooner's rock scene there's about 10 seconds in the musical when it is appropriate to have mer-people onstage at all.

Posted: 10/14/14 at 1:13amActually, there are several moments where it would be appropriate to have mer creatures, but the musical doesn't traditionally use them as they would be more passive elements of the scene and harder to achieve... And Rigby hates hiring actors.

Is it common to call the Indians Islanders now or is it a new concept for this telecast? Are they going to alter the text and always refer to them as Islanders?
