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."

NO MORE Cathy Rigby as Peter Pan?
I certainly hope they have someone just as suitable waiting in the wings, like Susan Lucci.

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

Yes, Mr. Roxy, and Matthew Broderick could play Tinkerbell!

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...

EverythingIsRENT:
Unless someone proves otherwise, PETER PAN is the most revived show on Broadway. And I am not just talking about the musical, but the play as well. Since 1905, there have been a total of 13 productions: 7 of the play, 6 of the Charlap/Leigh/Comden/Green/Styne musical. And then, you can also count in the Stiles & Drewe special engagement production.
I REALLY would welcome a revival of the Stiles & Drewe PETER PAN. The music is GREAT and the story seems to be told much darker, as it should. Check out the songs for FREE at http://www.stilesanddrewe.co.uk.

"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."
