Our second production of Peter Pan was helmed by two newcomers to the theater: Megan Brewer directed, while Jessica Ziegelbauer handled music direction. Choreography was crafted by Guy Caridi who also as choreographer of the first prodcution in 2005.
KFT alum Anna Vizzare starred as Peter Pan, bringing the character to life with her comic timing and athletic energy. In the opening scenes, she and Harper Flynt (Tinker Bell) appeared to fly up the walls—thanks to a clever technique borrowed from KFT’s first production, which used nearly invisible steps built into the set.
Anna’s performance was enriched by her dynamic interplay with Juliette Jones as Wendy. Their chemistry highlighted the contrast between Peter’s refusal to grow up and Wendy’s more grounded perspective. Harper Flynt (Tinkerbell) was able to show how much she didn't want Peter to grown up without saying a word.
Jasmine Herrick portrayed Tiger Lily, reimagined as the leader of the “Amazons”—a modern update from the original portrayal of the 'Indians' in the Mary Martin version. Jasmine not only lead the Amazons, she also acted as the Dance Captain.
Nathan Drackett (Captain Hook) and John Han (Smee) fully embraced the comedic potential of their roles, drawing out every bit of humor from their delightfully antagonistic relationship.
