Peter Pan

What’s the secret of flying? – Never Land

Peter Pan swoops into Norwich this June

If you are asking for directions in the vicinity of Norwich’s Limelight Studios, Performing Arts School, you shouldn’t be surprised if you are met with the reply “2nd star on the right and straight on ’til morning”. If the adventurer in you wants to follow these intriguing directions, then make sure you are prepared to run the gauntlet of pirates, indian braves, lost boys and mermaids, because you will right on course for ‘Neverland’.

The company of Limelight Studios are in full rehearsal and set to bring their enchanting production of the musical ‘Peter Pan’ live to the stage of Norwich’s historic and atmospheric Maddermarket Theatre from Wed. 8th to Sat. 11th June.

Although often performed as a seasonal pantomime, J.M. Barrie’s beloved story of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, is performed here as a glorious full blown musical theatre show. Written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, the musical pairing behind recent West End productions of ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Betty Blue Eyes’ and ‘Half a Sixpence’, ‘Peter Pan’ captures the original wonder, excitement and poignancy of James Barrie’s classic tale. 

The show is packed with rousing numbers from a full-blooded band of Pirates, led by Peter Pan’s arch enemy the wonderfully wicked Capt. Hook, beautiful duets shared by Peter and Wendy, haunting melodies of Edwardian London and lively production numbers by the Lost Boys. With a cast of performers ranging from those at the very beginning of their stage training to highly experienced actors and singers, the story of ‘Peter Pan’ is true to its hero’s promise never to grow up, and is set to sweep a whole new generation of Wendys, Johns and Michaels off on the adventure of a lifetime!
