Brilliant? Well, let's not get carried away. Do I hate it? No. But it is a little boring....and lackluster.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
The way they broke up "I wont grow up" is just annoying. I don't understand the whole painting x's around Neverland, it is a completely unnecessary additional plot point. And the conversation between peter and tiger lily seemed premature. I think it releases the tension too early.
Also, Wendy is just a fun sucker in this (with the whole diplomacy thing)
"I'm shocked to say this but Sound of Music was far better than this. Carrie was weak but she was the only one." Really? IMO..Stephen Moyer was 100X worse... and a couple of those kids were really wooden.
I stand by what I said. If they decided to stage this performance on a regular basis with this same cast, say, on Broadway, I'd mortgage my entire life to get to NYC to see it in a heartbeat.
Can we just get to the real point of this... Peter Pan is not a very well written show. In fact it's an awful show with some nice tunes. And it's only half over. Yikes!
