I heard a rumor but is it true? I hope so!

There are posters outside Radio City announcing the show will be playing there.

I thought Peter Pan was at Madison Square Garden.

I just received an e-mail promoting Cathy Rigby in Peter Pan at MSG. FYI - there was a discount code = BW15PAN.

It's playing the Theater at MSG from December 14-30.

There are rumors of a Broadway engagement next summer, but who knows what will happen.

They should have a discount where the percent off the full ticket price is equal to the age of the actor playing Peter Pan... the tickets would be almost free... hehehe

I saw this production a few months ago and trust me . . . Cathy Rigby's still got it! She was great in the part and brought so much warmth, energy and fun to the role that her age really doesn't matter.

I agree. She is terrific.

I'm sorry, but this old woman dressed like a little boy is just sad and pathetic. It's a BOY! And all the makeup and hair and costuming doesn't take away from how ridiculous she looks dressed up like one. A guy needs to play this role. It's just creepy and weird at this point. I saw this when I was a kid and it was so confusing and ruined for me because they had a woman in drag. Peter Pan should never be played by a girl again. It's an outdated casting rule that they should be ashamed of.

^They didn't even let you audition did they?

I've never been there, but isn't that theatre kind of not a theatre at all?

I was not auditioning haha. I was just a kid who had a show completely ruined because they thought we were too young to tell the difference between a young boy and a middle aged woman.

It's actually a horrible venue, but it's huge. If you're not in the first section, it feels like the show is taking place in a totally different world.

As far as Rigby's suitability for the role...I saw her the last time the tour rolled through NYC, and she was spectacular. I can't wait to go back again.
