Peter and the Starcatcher – Location, Tickets, Reviews
“A grownup’s prequel to Peter Pan,” Peter and the Starcatcher traces the origins of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. It starts with his days as an ordinary orphan child, then his arrival in Neverland and the events that made him the fantastical and enchanting character in J. M. Barrie’s 1911 classic. Captain Hook, the crocodile, and Tinkerbell are all there, as well.
Peter and the Starcatcher started in a small theater, moved to a big theater and received 5 Tony Awards (mostly for its visual design aspects), and now it is back in small theater but the production is largely the same.

REVIEWS
New York Times
Effortless flights of fancy
Time Out
And you can be sure: Peter soars–deliriously high and gloriously far
The New Yorker
Peter and the Starcatcher (superbly directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers…) is a larky seance with Barrie’s mythic characters: part pantomime, part story theater, and all delight
Vulture
Peter and the Starcatcher is a tiny show, but spectacle, wit, and joy spill out of it like treasure from a magic pocket
