I think that it works best in the original version (though the Sandy Duncan one is cool), because the original has the right idea: that Neverland is for the young. Whether they are the Lost Boys (children) or the Indians (teenagers). That's why the Pirates don't belong there, they are adults.
I LOVE the way the Indians in the Mary Martin version are wearing Keds sneakers. That is perfection.
When they try to "correct" it, the number gets thrown out of whack.
Like in the Sandy Duncan version, I'm thinking, when Tiger Lily does those high side, kicks that (from where Peter's standing) he can see all the way to Florida.
And in the Cathy Rigby version that I saw, all the other Indians looked like Indian Chiefs with full ceremonial headdresses and everything. It looked like the cast of "Dancing With Wolves" was crossing the stage.
