Booooo!!! I was hoping for something more exciting.

I can see it now. A live musical performed without a studio audience that has audience participation.

"They want a male"

Ugh, then they are going to cast a young male who's a big name that I don't like at all. Great women have played this part. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I've always found the one with Mary Martin one creepy. Maybe a menopausal woman playing a (very very fey) little boy worked better on stage.

As much as I hate Beiber, I think he might be able to pull it off but he also has alienated so many people. Not that he would want to do it. I certainly don't want him to do it - I really can't think of any young male who would be a big draw. How young do think he would have to be?

I'm hoping they are making safe, boring (IMO) choices so they can build trust with the network and down the line take some risky actions. I get the line of thought here but boy does Peter Pan sound like a snoozefest. Esp. without an audience!

Bieber as Peter Pan. I actually might happen. of course being the a$$hole that he his, I could see him not showing up for the actually live performance, or being 4 hours late and having NBC forced to air it at midnight.

Is it written in stone there won't be an audience? Not even a small one with children in it.

Please hire Kathleen Marshall to direct and choreograph this one. I don't want to see the Indians presenting Ashfordesque kick choreography.

To whoever suggested Chris Colfer as Peter - There's a special place in hell for people who make suggestions like that.

But Patti could do it with her recent boyish haircut. They could call it PATTI PETER.

They should keep the tradition going with retired gymnasts. Shawn Johnson can play the role for the next 40 years.

Oh my God, Amy Sedaris as Perer Pan would complete my life.

boo. How boring. We have several LIVE versions of this already. I would have preferred Cinderella over this. BIG pass.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 1/19/14 at 2:41pm

Oh, please. You and everyone else who will says "Ugh! Pass!" knows you'll be watching it and live tweeting how much you hate it since you've already made up your mind.

I'd be happy if Daniel Huttlestone played Peter. He's already a star in the rising.

Christian Borle can play (reprise) his Capt. Hook (Black Stache)

Amy Poehler as Peter Pan! You know she'd kill it.
Boring choice, yes, but people were also suggesting CINDERELLA and OLIVER which are both equally boring choices. And yes, please find a role for Laura Benanti in this.

Laura Benanti has already thrown her hat into the ring for Nana the dog on her twitter!
