I hope for Goldyn's sake they're doing the revised version of Ugg-A-Wugg, which has a lot more (and much more exciting) dancing than the original version. Given Colombo's involvement (she choreographed the Rigby version), I assume they will.
Sills is perfect for Captain Hook.
I love this musical and am really looking forward to this production. As much as I ADORE Rigby in the role, I'm looking forward to seeing another performer's take on the title role (having only seen Martin via the TV broadcast).

Posted: 5/4/10 at 4:43pmI was just wondering what Goldyn's been doing. Kudos!!

"Rigby's not playing Peter? I'm shocked."
I know Rigby has come back after she retired from the role, but I think she was pretty clear that the Branson engagement was her last performance ever.

Posted: 5/4/10 at 5:00pmI literally gasped when I saw Douglas Sills was playing Hook! This is even more exciting than the Tony noms for me. I was just thinking the other day how great he would be at this role (though I'd also love to see Chris Sieber play Hook).

Stupid question time...
How far is the playhouse from Brooklyn?

Yes, Biff AKA Levi. That's a very good question. How far IS it from Brooklyn? 
Seeing as my username is CapnHook, I feel I must respond to Sills' being cast:
YES!

Millburn is about a 40-minute train ride from midtown. From the Millburn station, it's maybe a 3-5 minute walk to the doors of the Playhouse. So, just add whatever time it takes to get from Brooklyn to Penn Station to the commute, and you should be good.

Think again. Link for details.
Keeps on going and going and going...

Posted: 5/4/10 at 10:11pmI still think it's about time to cast a boy as Pan.

Posted: 5/4/10 at 11:14pmIMO, Sills will be perfect for Hook. Don't venture often to Paper Mill all that often, but I'll make an exception for this one. First show I ever saw in NYC was the Mary Martin Peter Pan and I still remember Cyril Ritchard. But I'm betting that Sills can pull if off splendidly

Posted: 5/5/10 at 12:22pmI was also a huge Cyril Ritchard fan, but after seeing Douglas Sills in LSOH I agree he will make a wonderful Captain Hook. I've wondered about Sills' work the past few years (passing up a Shakespeare gig in Washington,DC to do Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo, and then bowing out of Spamelot due to creative differences). It will be nice to see him in a good stage role -- hopefully back en route to Broadway.

Posted: 5/5/10 at 7:43pmWTF WHERE'S RIGBY?!?!?! SHE HASN'T PLAYED THIS ROLE ENOUGH!
#20Anderson, Sills, Crampton & Goldyn to Lead Paper Mill PETER PAN
Posted: 5/5/10 at 8:23pmHayley Podschun will be great! She is definitely an up and coming star!
#21Anderson, Sills, Crampton & Goldyn to Lead Paper Mill PETER PAN
Posted: 5/5/10 at 8:30pmI wonder who will play Hook with Rigby in 2011? Maybe they'll cast someone older to make her look younger?

Posted: 5/5/10 at 9:01pmPerhaps a stupid question: what chance is there in this production including the Mermaid Lagoon Sequence rather than the (Incredibly dated imo) scene in which Peter impersonates a woman. I know Rigby held the rights to that sequence, but with the choreographer from all of Rigby's productions on board, I thought there might be a chance...
