Peter and the Starcatcher is a mesmerizing, grownup prequel to the treasured story of Peter Pan. Both magical and hilarious, this fantasy will make your imagination take flight. An orphan boy without a name is inspired by a precocious young girl to defeat a charming, yet villainous pirate. Using clever wordplay, daring movement and live music, this journey features swashbuckling, shipwrecks, spectacular mermaids, and the secret to eternal youth. Winner of 5 Tony Awards in 2012!
