Peter Pan To Fly Back To Broadway Again In 2005

Somebody get the smelling salts for Capn Hook........

"Cathy Rigby's farewell appearance in the musical Peter Pan is expected to be seen on Broadway in late 2005, producer Tom McCoy told Playbill On-Line.

Currently flying high in a touring revival that coincides with the 100 anniversary of the creation of J.M. Barrie's boy who wouldn't grow up, former Olympic champion Rigby is expected cap off the tour with a limited Broadway engagement between Thanksgiving 2005 and January 2006.

Tiny, nimble and acrobatic, the fiftysomething Rigby earlier announced this would be her last time in the green tights. Her Capt. Hook in the current tour is Howard McGillin, a veteran of Broadway's Anything Goes and The Phantom of the Opera.............

"We definitely have plans to go back to Broadway beginning before the Thanksgiving holidays through the New Year, a seven or eight week period," McCoy told Playbill On-Line. "The Nederlanders are the partners on this show; hopefully we'll be in a Nederlander theatre, although theatre availability isn't known right now. We have every intention on taking it into New York."

This is an overdone show

The only way I would see it is if Nathan Lane were cast as Peter Pan. That would be a rip

Please, no Michael Jackson jokes, he's ruined the story of Peter Pan enough as it is, and it breaks my heart =*(

By the way, how is this show overdone? It's hardly ever performed where I live...
