It's a prequel of Peter Pan. The boys were pretending that they were flying in Neverland.
If you would like to go tickets are $25 main floor and $20 balcony seating.
Call 402-345-4849 or purchase online at rosetheater.org. Discount ticket vouchers are available at all area Hy-Vee stores for $14 each. Reservations are required.
The show is 2 hours with an intermission. During intermission they sell cookies and drinks. It's showing from December 4-27.
We had a bit of a wait because it was their final practice. This is what The Rose Theater looks like in the entry way. Isn't it pretty?
The boys were cracking me up because they said, "It's so smoky!" It was just a fog machine.
The show was both magical feeling and funny. My husband had a bad day at work was laughing so hard during parts of it. He was thanking me for getting out of the house. This show is not only for kids. ;)
They usually start off the show with a sing and dance act from The Rose Brigade. We were there for their final practice, so we missed that this time.
About Peter & the Starcatcher:
It's a wildly theatrical, hilarious and innovative retelling of how a miserable orphan came to be The Boy Who Never Grew Up, Peter And The Starcatcher upends the century-old legend of Peter Pan. Molly Aster, a 13-year-old Starcatcher Apprentice, finds herself in the company of pirates, a giant crocodile, and angry Mollusks as she and three orphan boys (one of whom happens to be unnamed) attempt to return a trunk of precious starstuff to her father. Adventures abound as they’re pursued by a mustachioed pirate captain and his sidekick, Smee. Along the way Molly learns what it means to grow-up and is reunited with her father. The nameless orphan and his friends take up residence on this island where dreams are born and time is never planned – the island where that nameless orphan is christened Peter Pan.
My husband is not a huge fan of Peter Pan, but still liked this show. It really is the Neverland you never knew.
