Peter Pan

The best in a lifetime - excellent music, dancing and singing. Great for grandparents and grandkids.

The Best play ever Peter Pan was Amazing the props were beautiful the pirates were great dancers.

This was my son's and I first theaterical experience and WE BOTH LOVED IT! We will definitely be back for more! :)

This show was nowhere near enjoyable. As stated in previous reviews the sound was awful but that was not the worst part. With the exception of Wendy and the green light that played Tinkerbell, the acting was pathetic. I have seen better acting in high school productions. We ended up leaving at intermission as we laughed to the parking lot. I probably will not be returning to the Burnsville Performing Arts Center for another production if this is what they put out.

The sets were fantastic. The play was true to the book. It was awesome!

Peter Pan was very terrific. I would highly recommend. This play was enjoyable for the young and old.

This is a play well worth missing. Other than the sets and the flying, which were OK but nothing spectacular, this was nothing but a second rate production. I've seen much better community theater and high school plays for a lot less money. Save your money!

Peter Pan was a wonderful play that my kids (ages 7,9 and 10) all enjoyed. I have never been to the Burnsville Performing Arts Center and it is a beautiful building and very easy to park and get into! They have snacks and beer and drinks for intermission.

Peter Pan without the music was difficult at best. The sets were gorgeous but unfortunately couldn't carry the show. None of the dancing, none of the music, why would a "Light Opera" company completely eliminate the best parts of the show! Several good performances by individuals, but as a whole, the production was not up to par with even a low budget high school production.

We really enjoyed the play. I did have an issue regarding the sound - many times it was difficult to make out the words. The costumes were amazing and the grandkids were impressed with the flying but agian if they didn't already know the story so well it would have been difficult to understand at times --- the sound seemed like it was on low. Great Play!!!!!

We took our 2 grandaughters age 3 and 5. They loved it! There was plenty of action and the sets were beautiful! The show held their attention throughout and my 5 year old grandaughter thought it was so great that I took them to the Theater that I was "Grammytastic"! Can't get better than that!

The acting was very so-so; the role of Wendy was done best. The sound system was horrible - lines were muddled and not understandable. I would call it a high school play with really great sets - except I've seen better high school plays!!!! With better sound systems! How about 3 intermissions to change the sets????? How amateurish! We took our grandkids, who've seen GOOD theater, and they didn't think much of it. In their words, it was "okay'. They really like the "chess players" vignettes which played out during set changes the most!!! Lower quality theater overall....

I'm not trying to be mean, but this was the worst production I've ever seen. The sound was horrible and the acting was even worse. I feel like I was cheated out of $65. Unless I hear better things in the future about this production company I will not be returning.

Great talent throughout the performance. Excellent sound, lighting, and special effects. Geared towards kids but very entertaining for adults as well. Would highly recommend!

It was a great stage show of Peter Pan. Casa once again has made a great show for both children and adults to enjoy. We all enjoyed it and would recommend it for others to see.

I took my 7 and 10 year old boys and we were all mesmerized. The cast is truly talented and it was Broadway quality. Love the small venue and affordable pricing.

I have 3 girls ages 5,8,9 and they loved it. Would recommend for boys n girls though.

We took four kids. They all enjoyed it. The cast sits on the stage so if you get in the front row you may have them in your bubble for a few minutes.

The Peter Pan musical was just fantastic. The cast was top notch. My grandchildren who are 8 and 6 were captivated the entire time. We'll be going to Casa Manana again.

The production was very entertaining and the acting was great. The scene changes were a little bit confusing, but I would recommend taking your little ones to see this play.

Great show. Defiantly geared toward kids but as two adults we enjoyed it just as much!

We've been to Casamana before but had extras going this time. Love it as much as we always have!

I had taken my grand daughter to see CATS back in March & the delightful Alyssa Robbins played Demeter. My grand daughter was so excited to see one of the CATS play a person. She just turned 6 in March. We got box seats this time to experience all the flying excitement. The seats were great & the performance was magical for her. This is the 3rd time she has seen a live performance. At first she couldn't quite grasp the fact it was real actors, not a movie. Now she is telling me we need season tickets for next years children's season after seeing all the upcoming events! I plan on getting them, because I'M NOT GOING EVER GROW UP EITHER!!

First Childs Play we have been to. The Play was enjoyable.

great show. my girls ages 5 and 3 loved the show!!!

My family and I all enjoyed the Peter Pan play at Casa Manana. The singing was excellent, the set and costumes were beautiful, and the acting was superb!

Great show! Would recommend for all ages. Especially liked the lost boys and Indians.

Billie Curtis as Peter Pan, BEST choice! She did an Amazing job!! And the Ugg-A-Wugg scene...by far the MOST memorable scene! West's Percussion line with their spin on Ugg-A-Wugg gave Stomp a run for its money!!! Linda Tieman worked her magic and brought out the talent in these already talented kids. They did an outstanding job!!!! Proud to be from West!!

Fantastic performance. Cathy Rigby is full of energy and is a delight to watch.

Cathy was amazing! Great special effects! All young and young at heart should see!

Absolutely amazing !!!!!!!!! This is the first time I have been to a broadway show and I will be seing many more it was so enjoyable .

The entire show was spectactular. I especially enjoyed tiger lily and her beautiful dancing. The whole family enjoyed it from my 4-1/2 yr. Old up to 72 yr. Old papa. Definitely would recommend to others.

Cathy Rigby and Captain Hook, Wendy, the Darling boys, the lost boys, the Indians, all were energetic, entertaining and adorable!!

We took our 2 grandgirls to see Cathy Rigby in Peter and it was jaw dropping magical fun! Not a peep out of a 5 and 8 year old. they (and I) were glued to the performance. Live performance is like nothing else and Cathy Rigby delivered a performance that had us all believing she could fly!

The play was okay. It was definitely geared toward children. Captain Hook and Wendy were the best in the bunch. Overall it was done well I just wouldn't recommend it to other adults.

I cannot even find the word to describe how awesome and amazing Peter Pan was! I grew up watching the DVD of Cathy Rigby's performance of Peter Pan and to see it live on stage was a dream come true! I saw Cathy Rigby is Peter Pan at the Peabody Opera House in St.Louis,Missouri and absolutely loved it! I would 10000% recommend everyone of all ages to see this show! Cathy retires at the end of April 2013 and it would be a shame to miss this awesome show! #Believe # NeverGrowUp

Cathy Rigby is truly unforgettable in this role. Such a high-energy fun show for all ages. Grab a kid and go! Don't let them miss this magical experience.

Peter Pan was a great show!!! I took my grandchildren and daughter. We all loved the show!!! Cathy Rigby did not disappoint, she was amazing!!! We also loved Captain Hook!!! He was so funny, reminded me of Russell Brand! We all loved the show! Would see Peter Pan again if the show came back to St Louis. I think the adults loved it more than the kids.

Brought my little sister to the show for a surprise 13th Birthday present, we both enjoyed ourselves- and for the next 48 hours all she has said is "that was THE BEST Birthday present you could EVER have given me!!!" Thanks for making it possible!

Cathy Rigby was truly Peter Pan. Well worth the drive..we missed her in Cincinnati so we headed to St Louis, it was the next closest show.

I saw Cathy Rigby(who is my age!)many years ago playing Peter Pan....it was fun then and she didn't disappoint me this time! Loved the Lost Boys, the Never Never Land Indians, and the Pirates....well, with one of the songs extended for them.....it was grand! We had little children around us....but they were mesmerized....no greater compliment than that. The Peabody Opera House......beautiful!

This timeless classic came to life on the farewell tour of Cathy Rigby Mccoy's time as the boy who wouldn't grow up. I've seen the show with Mary Martin and Sandy Duncan. By far, THIS production is the best of the bunch. Ms. Rigby is amazing!!! Her physical performance, i.e., her gymnastics on stage are impressive. But her singing voice and her portrayal of the Pan had more depth and emotion than from the previous two Pans. Cathy Rigby set the bar very high for the rest of the cast to keep up with her. And keep up with her they did. Each cast member was outstanding. Not a weak performance in the bunch even though two roles were played by understudies that night. The special effects were superb. But the flying sequences were amazing!!! Some people started to leave during the curtain call to beat the traffic. It was their loss because of the special flying stunt during that curtain call. This was a perfect night of GREAT Broadway quality entertainment. If this show comes to your city, tell your friends about it and buy tickets to this historic farewell tour. You'll feel young again.

My grandsons 10 and 7 were fascinated by the show - they were not familiar with the story but talked about it a lot the next morning. I had bought the book Peter and the Starcatchers which was not received well but now I think it will be read.

This was my first time seeing Peter Pan and it was phenomenal. It is hard to believe Cathy Rigby is a 60 year old grandma with the way she moves across the stage and the acrobats she does. Overall an AMAZING show and experience!

It was amazing for me to see in person something I had watched on a video since I was a kid! Although we actually bought the tickets for my 5 year old daughter who loves Peter Pan, I think my mother and I enjoyed it just as much. The icing on the cake was meeting Cathy Rigby after the show. It was so sweet of her to come out and sign autographs after the show for a small donation to charity!

We watched the MAGIC happen at Lexington Opera House. Make no mistake, Cathy Rigby IS Peter Pan. If you're among those that never want to grow up, be sure to add seeing the ageless Rigby's Peter Pan performance to your bucket list. And if you lose it for just a moment when she makes her first on-stage appearance, or during the finale when Pan flies high above the audience sprinkling fair dust, that's OK. Hey...can't we all use a little fairy dust now-n-then?

My aunt introduced my sister and I to Peter Pan years ago. We are all captivated by this classic tale of youth and freedom and coming of age. I am getting married in a few months, and I purchased tickets for my mom, aunt, sister and I to see the show as a "girls day" before I "grow up" and get married. From the lovely al fresco dining area and delicious lunch, to the incredible digital scenes and superb performance, we all cried in delight while seeing this production. The flight scenes, complete with acrobatics, and the clever adaptions of the puppets and characters truly made this performance unique! We enjoyed our picnic lunch, the candy buffet, the souvenir shop and our fabulous seats in the 3608 theater! We cannot wait to attend another performance at the Freedom Center.

You'd think if the production went through the trouble of having the cast fly, that they would make sure the audio was decent. Constant feedback and Peter Pan's mic was taking RF hits the whole night.

Great production -- perfect blend of storytelling and effects that captivated both kids and adults in a perfect amount of time!

The Peter Pan production at Cabrillo Music Theatre was outstanding! My granddaughters loved it! Brought back childhood memories!,,

Exceptionally done! A must see! Great for all ages!

Very decent production considering the number of teen and non-union performers. Prices still a bit high for a mostly non-union show.

this was extraordinary, classic stuff, especially the pace, vocals, gymnastics, and dance. really, really good.

I was impressed with production value and the talent on the stage. In particular, Cheryl Baxter's choreography was fantastic. Luke Pryor as Michael Darling was a stand out as well - so talented at such a young age! And also, Justin Michael Wilcox was outstanding as Smee. Overall, a very enjoyable performance with high production value, excellent choreography and notable talent on the stage.Congratulations!

As an artist I don't enjoy criticizing the art of others. However, since you asked me for a review I will give you a few of my thoughts. The overall production felt a little dated in my opinion. Neither the director or producers did anything new with this production and I wanted more. The acting was fair. The actors didn't appear to be completely committed to every moment. The actress playing Peter Pan had good energy but, again I didn't believe her as that role. She has a beautiful voice but, she would be talking one way as Peter and then sing a soprano belt. It took me out of the world of the play every time. The dancers were solid. The sets were good as well. I bought two tickets to the show for a total of $150. I would NOT do that again. It's such a beautiful facility but, the bar needs to be raised. In an entertainment town it's surprising that it wasn't a stronger show. I'm sorry to give such an unfavorable review but, I truly hope it helps to improve future productions.

The pit orchestra, singing, dancing, flying, and acting were top notch! This show engages audiences of all ages!

Good play. Didn't know a girl always plays Peter Pan in the play's , which makes it a little weird cuz Wendy and Peter like each other..

This is an excellent production that I was blown away with. Great cast and set!

This was a fun show to watch. The story is of a boy named Peter Pan in search of a mother who finds Wendy, John, and Michael, and takes them to Neverland. There they encounter the Lost Boys, Tiger Lily and the Indians, and Captain Hook and his fellow pirates. The sets in this show are amazingly detailed and really convince you that you are actually in the location that they take place. Curiously, the staging is unique in the show as the show only has 5 different sets and instead of rotating like in other shows, entire scenes happen in one set and when they finish, they move on to the next one. In terms of the costumes, they made a really good job of differentiating the style of the Lost Boys, the Indians, and the Pirates. While there wasn't much choreography in this show, the little that there was, was done incredibly well. Finally, the music and singing in this show was very well done. This Peter Pan definitely captured the immaturity and longing of a child in the show's more emotional scenes. I would like to stress that this show is NOT from Disney, so it won't be a staged version of the Disney film. Overall, I enjoyed this show because the story was incredibly simplistic, funny, engaging, and just made you glad you watched it.

The show was fun for an outing with friends. I treated my 11 year old for her birthday. Her friend and Mom came along. We all enjoyed it. The food, except the chocolate cake, was good enough...nice variety on the buffet. The staff was very nice, especially our server!!! The actors were talented and engaging. I really enjoyed my first theater in the round experience!

A very lack luster show. Great for kids, slow for the adults. We didn't even stay for the second half, left early. I read the reviews first before we purchased the tickets. They were spot on . Don't waste your money. Go see a movie, more entertaining and BETTER value.

I thought the play was very well done, I was surprised at how talented the cast was! Granddaughter and Grandparents both enjoyed it.

I didn't realize it was a kids' production - it was fine for taking my kids to but I wish I would have known ahead of time that it wasn't adult quality. I think the price was ok but a bit high for a play with all kids in it. The lead character, Peter Pan, really lacked strong singing skills.

Performances at Casa Manana have always been great, but they just keep getting better. Peter Pan was amazing. Costumes, setting, music, and actors were outstanding. I love the added attractions (i.e. giving away an autographed book).

Main characters were terrific. Play was a bit long, especially the long Captain Hook and pirates act. Little kids like the happy characters, the Hook act seemed added to extend the play. Loved the Indians.

My granddaughter was able to totally lose herself in the story. The production values were terrific. Clever stage usage and wonderful costumes set the ambiance. The flying was a bit stilted and not as impressive as I had imagined. I would definitely recommend it for any youngster as the appreciation of live theater is part of a well rounded child and makes for a terrific outing with granny.

This production of Peter Pan was very entertaining. However, Casa Manana never seems to start a show on time, leaving the little ones squirming in their seats.

Great performance! I took my 8 year old daughter and we absolutely loved it! The children's theater at casa never ceases to amaze us. My daughter is now inspired to be on the stage and we are considering camp at casa.

Acting and singing were exceptional. Our 3 and 5 yr old loved it

My granddaughter & I enjoyed our Sat. afternoon performance of Peter Pan. It was delightfully entertaining & very well done by the whole cast, especially the gal who played Peter Pan & the man who played the father & the Captain Hook. The only problem we had that it was very cold in the theatre--should have brought sweaters!

This production far exceeded my expectations!! Acting and musical performances were great!

I took my granddaughters to see Peter Pan at the Casa Mañana. I have never been disappointed at productions presented there. The cast and scenery were wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed.

We really enjoy ourselves at the performance of Peter Pan. Our little granddaughter age 6 was on the edge of her set for most of the night. After the show the actors greeted guest and signed her personal copy of Peter Pan that she brought from home. All were so sweet to her and she will never forget the night. Thank you to all who were involved it was wonderful.

We enjoyed Peter Pan. The seats were what we expected and the Peabody is an amazing venue to see a play.

Wonderful experience. Was great for kids and adults.

Great experience! We have the dvd Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby and my grand-daughter LOVES WATCHING IT! When we heard the play was coming to St. Louis we were thrilled. It was such a great experience seeing Cathy Rigby on stage playing Peter Pan. Music was beautiful. The play was everything we hoped it would be. LOVED IT!

Cathy Rigby is 60 years old!! The athleticism in this production is amazing. Standing ovation. Thank you for bringing this to St. Louis. Please come again!

Cathy Rigby is nothing short of sensational in her role as Peter Pan. At 60, she moves around that stage and in the air with the energy of a teenager. She is inspirational and motivational for children and seniors alike. This was my eight-year-old grandson's first stage play and it really sparked his enthusiasm for the theater. He told me that I would have to take him again (I loved hearing that.). The overall play was creative, exciting and colorful.The music was familiar and wonderful. I found myself smiling throughout the performance. The best was watching my grandson enjoy the play. Applause, applause!

A fantastic production of Peter Pan! The sets, singing and acting were all top notch. The start time of 7:30 was a little tough for little ones, but worth it in the end.

Happiness is watching your 8-year-old granddaughter's face as Peter Pan [Cathy Rigby] flies out over the audience sprinkling pixie dust.

Took my 3 year old grandson to show. He loved it. Cathy Rigby was great. The theater was beautiful. Can't wait to go back for another show.

Peter Pan was a great performance. It was our first visit to the Peabody, it was beautiful. My only complaint is that it was hot and there was someone eating potatoe chips in the balcony with a microphone on and you could hear the bag rustling and eatch bite of the chip and the crunching. It was disturbing until I figured out what it was and then just anoying.

This musical was amazing in every way. The cast members were exquisitely matched to the perfect role. Voices were beautiful, strong, and clear. Orchestra was lovely. Sets, costumes, everything! was perfect. I live out-of-state and had never been to the Palace Theatre. A total treat. Captain Hook was my personal favorite. What a delight. Hats off to all who touched this beautiful performance.

As always the performance was wonderful. Wonderful play to show, Peter Pan is fun. The staff at the Palace theatre is professional and friendly as always. Thank you for a great show!

Wonderful!! Mic issue at beginning was immediately picked up and fixed; extremely professional performance!! Delightful. thank you very much!!

We loved it. We just love the Pleasure Guild shows. They are always amazing and the talent is Broadway class. The girl playing the lead was absolutely incredible. I knew by her voice that she was not a child, yet was fun loving and believable in her acting.

After reading the story in his class, my son loved the character of Peter Pan. He had a special day out with my husband, and they were both blown away by the entire event. I'd rather see them attend these events and support the community! It can add up cost wise, but we budget for it and make it work!

I attended the performance of Peter Pan with two of my grandchildren and my two daughter-in-laws. The production was above and beyond my expectations. My grandson had dressed up as Peter Pan this past Halloween and has been watching the movie ever since. He is four and this was his first play and he told me it was awsome! My granddaughter is six and she enjoyed the dancing and singing. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

This was a good show for a great cause! Our family will be making it a tradition to support them every year. I think next year we may splurge for better seats though because being all the way at the top made it difficult to see. Thank you for an enjoyable family time!!

My son and I had a fabulous time at the production of Peter Pan. He loved the flying, and I loved that there were so many talented area students in the production. It was a night to remember!

This production was exceptional. The lead performer was very believeable and she simply bubbled with enthusiasm as Peter Pan. A truly memorable experience for young and the young at heart!

We have been going as a family for years. Not my favourite story they have done but the talent this year was the best ever!

This event was extraordinary and captivating. The unique twists to a timeless play was great!

I truly enjoyed this performance. Rigby is amazing. Was a great event to introduce my 4 year old daughter to the theatre.

Peter Pan starring MS. Rigsby was excellent! Her enthusiasm for the character brings it to life. The sets were bright, colorful, and life like that transported you into the story. It was terrific for children and those adults that are kid at heart. The acting singing and dancing were top notch and getting to meet the actors was a real treat. Truley dedicated professionals. It is a must see and will go down as a classic.

We had seen this production years ago but when it came to Lexington my 15 year old football player son asked if we could go. So the 5 of us, including 17 and 13 year old sisters purchased tickets. Although we had decent seats, my son's lament was that we wouldn't get sprinkled with pixie dust. The production was excellent. Although I had forgotten much of the details it was delightful seeing the teens recall all the action and be totally engrossed in it. This was an excellent family outing. I highly recommend it, even for families with teens.

I took my 8 year old girl and 5 year old son. They enjoyed the show. Well Done!

The play was wonderful--my 4 year old granddaughter was enthralled. It's a shame that my Lexington Opera House seating was so horrible that it almost ruined the play for me. LOH should NEVER sell tickets to the seat that I had to endure.

We greatly enjoyed the performance and the thrill of seeing Cathy Rigby. The only downside of the performance was our seating in the front row. The conductor was two feet above our seats and block our view of center stage during most of the performance. We had been to other performances such as Legally Blonde and sat five seats to the right and never noticed the conductor then. I suppose he was conducting the cast in addition to the orchestra.

Cathy Rigby was a delight in her award winning characterization of Peter Pan. She has mastered this role and has added much to it to include her own humor and gymnastic abilities (also award winning). Ms. Rigby adds flibs, and somersaults both in the air and on the ground that add to the character of Peter Pan without one's recalling, "oh yeah, she's a gymnast." The children's rolls are played so well by young thespiams who are already very accomplished.
