Have you ever wondered what little Jamesy was like before he became Captain Hook? Curious if Wendy would ever try HRT? Revisit the curiosity, mischief, and confusion of childhood imagination in this theatrical cabaret inspired by J.M. Barrie’s 1950 Broadway production of Peter Pan with music by Leonard Bernstein and Trude Rittman.

Performance artists Dicky Dutton and Heather Jones (HECKY) have written a new script that explores Hook’s villain origin story, Wendy and Peter’s surprising connection, the gender binary of mother versus pirate, and the conflicts that arise if anyone tries to grow up or grow out of the expectations assigned to them at birth. Familiar tunes from the 1950 and 1954 Broadway productions are interspersed with new songs and incidental music by Michael Lewis to create a dark but whimsical allegory for queer escapism. Bring your costume box and your outside voice, and we’ll see you on the island of Never Land.
