"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 12/10/04 at 10:18pmNot bad, Cap'n - but I'm curious why Ms. Rigby is given prominence over Ms. Martin? And really, trumpeting '100 years' of Pan, but only featuring the iconic musical stars is a bit disingenuous, don't you think?

In all of the message boards I participate in, I have created new icons for the 100th Anniversary.
Since this is a Broadway message boards, I included Mary Martin and Cathy Rigby.
If I had proper images of Sandy Duncan, Jean Arthur, Nina Bouicault, Maude Adams, Zena Dare, and the dozens of other actresses who played Peter Pan, I could have used one of them, too. BUT - there are too many. I can't include them all.
But you're right - I could enlarge Mary Martin. I was going to add Cyril Ritchard to the left of her, but I can't find my pics of him for some reason. Ah well.

That's a shame about Cyril, Cap'n - he was simply definitive. Although, I would have paid BIG money to see David Ogden Stiers when he did it

YOU STOLE MY IDEA!
In fifty years I was going to produce PETER PAN and have Cathy to do it in her wheel chair! The first show to have a flying wheel chair!

ROFL!
Speaking of that, Sueleen, something funny happened yesterday.
We had semester evaluations, so myself and the three theatre professors had a meeting together for 10 minutes.
The first question was:
"Do you like anyone here? Have you asked anyone out? Has anyone asked you out?"
I answered "No. I don't have to ask someone out just because we're both in the theatre department. I'll ask someone out when I'm attracted to them." And their response was "You don't know what love is."
HAHA
