Movie Reviews of Peter Pan
Movie Review: Downhill after first act.
Summary: 3 Stars
The first act in the nursery is rather delightful. Rigby is great for the flying, holds her own as a singer. The flying effects, sets and costumes are wonderful. But why all the tinkering with the libretto and even adding songs not in original?! appalling!
The use of adults in too many of the childrens roles greatly detracts from the charm of the story. Wendy seems positively middle aged here.
A pity there is not a technically good version of the Mary Martin production. I also enjoyed the Sandy Dennis version more when I saw it live in the early 80s.
Summary of Peter Pan
A success when it premiered in 1991, the stage musical Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby has toured the world. All the elements are in good form for this video production shot at the Mirada Theater in 2000 for the A&E Network. An adaptation of the famous 1954 musical directed by Jerome Robbins and starring Mary Martin, this new version is lasting proof that J.M. Barrie's tale of the boy who would never grow up is one of the kingpins of family entertainment. Some new songs have been added to the fabulous Moose Charlap-Carolyn Leigh score (which includes "Tender Shepherd," "I Gotta Crow," "I'm Flying," and "I Won't Grow Up"). But the biggest asset to this production are the spectacular flying sequences: Peter even soars over the audience at times. Martin was a stronger actress in a close-up, but Rigby is magical with her athleticism and spark, most notably in a percussion-filled song and dance number "Ugh-a-Wug." With comedy and derring-do, lavish sets, fabulous costumes, and a hissably good villain (Paul Schoeffler as Captain Hook), Peter Pan has plenty to charm nearly everyone from age 4 on up. The DVD also contains three sing-along songs and a behind-the-scenes featurette with the cast. --Doug ThomasFilmed for a special A&E presentation an all-new Broadway musical production of one of the most beloved tales of all time PETER PAN. Starring Tony Award nominee and Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby and featuring performances of such classics as "I'm Flying" "I Won't Grow" and "I Gotta Crow."System Requirements:Running Time: 104 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR UPC: 829567041925 Manufacturer No: 829567041925
