Just checking to see if anyone has caught the tour cast of Peter and the Starcatcher? I saw the show in San Francisco, and was wondering what people thought. Personally, I really liked Joey DeBettencourt's Boy, and LOVED the double act of John Sander's Stache and Luke Smith's Smee (I'd say I preferred Sanders to Matthew Salvidar in the role) but wasn't crazy about the other performers, especially the guys playing Prentiss and Slank. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I liked all the performances, but was disappointed in the show. The first act is LONG and the denouement at the end seemed to take forever, when that type of show it should be bang, crash, boom. It seemed like the whole pacing was too slow. I think this tour is only in its second city and perhaps the actors are still polishing and refining their performances.

I loved the production design and the "let's put on a show" attitude.

I thought it was a good tour production and I enjoyed it. Just not as much as I was hoping to.
