I've only ever seen a few episodes of GIRLS so I'm not really familiar with her. I hope she's great, though!

Posted: 7/30/14 at 9:48amI am really curious about this. At first I wasn't interested in another Peter Pan television production but I'm intrigued by this casting.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 9:59amWell, at least they realized casting a male was never gonna work. Small mercies.
#5GIRLS Star Allison Williams To Play Peter Pan In NBC Production
Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:02amI've never seen "Girls," but I've heard that she is very good on it, and the videos of her singing sound more than capable, but I have to wonder if she would have had a shot at the role if any network other than NBC was doing the show. I would guess having her father as one of the faces of NBC didn't hurt the casting process.

How in the world are they going to market this?
And yes, your kids can also watch Allison Williams in "Girls"
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:13amFindingNamo, most brilliant idea yet. Maybe he could rap it, or slow jam the role!
#11GIRLS Star Allison Williams To Play Peter Pan In NBC Production
Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:18amPerhaps the angle is that the kids will want to watch because it's Peter Pan. I know my 23 year-old daughter, who would not have watched otherwise, will be watching now.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:22amOther than Kristen Bell, I wonder how many other bigger stars (if any) turned down the role before they decided on Allison.
#13GIRLS Star Allison Williams To Play Peter Pan In NBC Production
Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:24amAnother girl pretending to be a boy? I lost any interest in watching, I already have two dvds of girls doing Peter in this show .... well four if you count the unmentionables. I don't need to see another one.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:34amMaybe Lena Dunham will play Tiger Lily!
#15GIRLS Star Allison Williams To Play Peter Pan In NBC Production
Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:41amSouth Fl Marc, the role was written for a woman (not girl) to play. I think you would have seen a much bigger uproar from theatre folk had they tried to cast a young man/teen boy in the role. I am very glad they cast a woman, I just think the selection was a little odd.

With all due respect, Kristen Bell did not turn down the role. She has stated that she would have accepted the offer, but unfortunately, her work schedule wouldn't permit her the time commitment the producers of PETER PAN required for pre-production.

Brody, I apologize, the essence of my question was not that she turned it down, rather that Allison wasn't the first choice. I hadn't heard that she said she would have accepted it, I had thought she had to decline early on in the process because of scheduling concerns.
Either way, my point remains, I wonder if there were people approached in between Kristen and Allison. We will probably never know, but that is quite a jump down in star power.
Again, I am in no way saying that Allison won't be great, but on the heels of a mega-star like Carrie Underwood starring last year, Kristen would have made sense. Allison seems completely out of leftfield.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:52amIsn't Kristen Bell pregnant?
#19GIRLS Star Allison Williams To Play Peter Pan In NBC Production
Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:54amI'd heard that rumor too, even before she was announced for "Hair," but never saw it confirmed, so I just assumed it wasn't true. That obviously would have been a major issue in playing Peter.

Her rep confirmed it, apparently.

Yes, Kristen Bell is Pregnant.
I'm excited about Allison Williams being cast; I think she'll be wonderful.
#22GIRLS Star Allison Williams To Play Peter Pan In NBC Production
Posted: 7/30/14 at 11:09amShe reeks of a 5th choice, but I guess she'll be fine? She can't be worse than Carrie Underwood.

I have no idea who she is.
I checked out the ratings for HBO's "Girls." They're under a million viewers per episode, sometimes way under. I hope she can draw an audience.

>Maybe Lena Dunham will play Tiger Lily!<
Imagine the fun with a live broadcast as Tiger decides to try and get Peter to "grow up" not to mention the wardrobe malfunctions.
