"Based on a novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Peter and the Starcatcher tells the backstory of Peter Pan, the “boy who would not grow up.” Roger Rees and Alex Timbers (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) will co-direct this premiere production."

Thoughts?

I saw it in workshop at the La Jolla Playhouse last year, and was absolutely charmed by it. It resembled an English music hall piece and was beautifully imaginative. It was still a work in progress, and needed some major changes, but I loved it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and heard about the La Jolla production, so I am REALLY excited about this show coming to Broadway.
