so, on a whim earlier today, and i decided to go to the traveling tour of peter pan.

and it was glorious.

peter was a bit nasally, but if you really think about it, how many other ways are there to make a girl sound like a boy? she was a really awesome singer...for those of you from pendleton, she reminded me a lot of casey jamerson (you can find her stuff on myspace if you're not familiar with her voice ) and omg, she did this thing where she spun as she was lifted into the air...omgdrool. it was amazing. *theatregasm* the fact that she was able to sing as well as she did while being up in the air with that harness denotes amazing talent to me. other than the nasalness, i was quite impressed.

hook was really awesome. no lie. and the song "mysterious lady"...*giggles* it's amazing. and that song further shows how awesome the girl who played peter was...because this show showed off her range.

and they had some lines that adults could really appreciate.

"tell us the end of cinderella!"
"...and they lived happily ever after!"
"tell us the end of sleeping beauty!"
"...and they all lived happily ever after!"
"tell us the end of hamlet!"
"uuuuuh..."

beehehehehe...

i love how the whole show was structured around children...because that's what the show is about! it had really convenient breaks (good for children) and audience participation. we had to clap to bring tink back to life and crow with peter and wendy. i felt like a little kid again...in a good way physical comedy was utilized in a very good way(especially for children)

i love how every different version of peter pan i've seen smee is different. his character can be interpreted in so many different ways. i've seen him from "OMG*ORGASM*IT'SSMEE!!" to "ew, it's smee..." in this version he was like hook's idiot younger brother with maternal tendencies...and he kissed hook's boo boo. *giggles*

tiger lilly was adorable. and such a dancer.
