Rigby is at it again...

She is forever young. Gotta love her

holy crap.

My goodness I saw her "farewell tour" in 2005. She really is astonishing to keep playing this role. 56 years old and still going strong. She first played the role 35 years ago in a touring production.

I saw the finale performance of the farewell and every time she always brings new energy to the stage as if she's playing it for the 1st time I wish I could show you an article but in it she did say she was retiring you do know she's getting cup there to 60.

what is up with the video on the site it looks like it was made 15 years ago they've made a more recent one haven't they?

The commercial footage is 20 years old. She also used that exact footage to advertise her 1997 tour as well.

I saw her final NYC performance. Good, but best to leave well enough alone. She was starting to slide downhill then.. the prerecorded crows were awful. If you can't do the crowing, don't play Pan.

She is worse than Ted Neeley. The problem is that Rigby holds the first class rights to Pan in North America AND she thinks that she is the only person capable of understanding Pan and doingg the show justice. The fact is, howver, that neither of those things are true. There are MANY capable Pans out there.. and many people that would give the show better than a third rate regional campfest when doing it on a Broadway stage. Last tour, Roughly 1/3 of the cast and crew were relatives of Rigby.. that is her right, I understand, but clearly they weren't the best for their jobs.. her daughter said in the press that she hates performing and doesn't want to be an actress.. yet there she was onstage as a lost boy..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, Namo. Broadwayguy went very negative on Charlotte d'Amboise, too. Weird little vendettas.

Frankly, I could give half a rat's ass about either Cathy Rigby or the sacred text of Peter Pan the musical. I am merely commenting that the, uh, strength, of your argument and how it seems a bit stronger than the material calls for.

Have you seen Peter Pan staged regionally as of late? The Rigby production is first class in terms of sets, costumes and special effects compared to some of the productions that I've seen staged regionally. It's a very difficult and expensive show to mount in order to do it justice and I think this production does that.

Saw her in Boston and she was magical. Just incredible. Well done, Ms. Rigby.

And I'll echo what someone else said: lay off her. She said farewell to touring the role. This is a sit down. Very different animal.

They aren't fans of the Rigby version or the musical in general?
