TOVAH FELDSHUH as PETER PAN#1

Does anyone remember Tovah Feldshuh's performance as Peter Pan? I found an old playbill {April of 197
from the now defunct PLAYHOUSE IN THE PARK in Philadelphia. George Rose is billed as Captain Hook, a role he would reprise in the Sandy Duncan Broadway revival. The two appeared in a network mini-series - HOLOCAUST, airing before this production was staged. I don't recognize a lot of the cast names; however, Ian Ziering (DANCING WITH THE STARS) played the role of John. The ensemble credits Robert Longbottom (SIDE SHOW director) as an ensemble member, along with Glen Scarpelli as a lost boy (ONE DAY AT A TIME.) Tina Johnson (42nd STREET tour) is billed as Wendy and former University of Miami Theatre Dept. Chairman Clay James appeared as a dancing Indian!. The director was Milton Moss and the choreographer George Bunt.
The production apparently toured to the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, Mass. but never went any further. I have read that Ms. Feldshuh continued playing Peter later in the summer for the St. Louis Muni Opera and was attempting to attach her name to a Broadway revival.
Did anyone see this thing?

Hey musicow. Your posting brought back memories. I wanted to respond when I saw back in October, but BWW's registration process was offline for awhile.
I actually ushered at the Playhouse in the Park from 1974 on and off until it closed. The last few years, I also deejayed the opening night parties in a pavillion behind the theater. We were setting up for the opening night party when Tovah came by in a running outfit and asked if we could recommend any good trails to follow. Before I could say anything, my friend answered, "Run, I thought you could fly." She glared at us and took off. I thought it was kind of funny, but I guess she wasn't in the mood for jokes.
The show was really fun -- a large ensemble of young actors just starting their careers, so there was a lot of energy.

Ian Ziering isn't just from DANCING WITH THE STARS but he made his Broadway debut playing Nils in the original Broadway cast of I REMEMBER MAMA (in 1979) and went on to star as Steve Sanders for 10 seasons on FOX TV's BEVERLY HILLS 90210.
