This holiday season, take off on a high-flying adventure as the Beck Center for the Arts presents Peter Pan, a musical based on the classic play by J.M. Barrie, on the Mackey Main Stage, December 5, 2008 through January 4, 2009. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays, 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays (no matinee performance on December 6), and 3 p.m. Sundays. There is a 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening performance on December 18.
Produced by the same creative team who brought us the critically acclaimed Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan features such memorable songs as "I Won't Grow Up," "Never Never Land," and "I've Got to Crow," with music and lyrics by Mark Charlap and Carolyn Leigh.
Beck Center's production has an unusual twist because it features a male actor, John Paul Soto, as Peter Pan, a role traditionally played by women including Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan, and Cathy Rigby. Also featured is Michael Mauldin* as Mr. Darling/Captain Hook, Maggie Stahl-Floriano as Mrs. Darling, Kelly Smith as Wendy, Alexis Floyd as Tiger Lily, and a large supporting cast of 30 talented actors.
Beck Center's production of Peter Pan is produced through special arrangement with Samuel French Inc. and is sponsored by First Federal of Lakewood, Mix 106.5 FM, Soft Rock WDOK, Cox Communications, LakewoodBuzz.com, and the Ohio Arts Council. Beck Center also gratefully acknowledges the citizens of Cuyahoga County for their support through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
Tickets are $28 for adults, $25 for seniors (65 and older), $17 for students (22 and under with ID), and $10 for children (12 and under). An additional $3 service fee per ticket is applied at the time of purchase. Group discounts are available for parties of 13 or more.
