Peter Pan’s magical adventure at Broadway at the National in Washington, DC, is a must-see for families. It will enchant audiences of all ages until April 21, 2024. This review says it is the perfect family entertainment. It can be a challenge, but look no further. Peter Pan, the Broadway musical touring show, now delight audiences in Washington, DC. This is your chance to experience a timeless story with a modern twist.
Directed by Lonny Price and with choreography by Lorin Latarro, this updated production breathes new life into the classic tale. The updated book by Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota), a respected playwright and choreographer, adds depth and cultural resonance. The remarkable cast features Nolan Almeida as Peter Pan and Hawa Kamara as Wendy. Raye Zaragoza‘s (Akimel O’odham) portrayal of Tiger Lily and Cody Garcia‘s Captain Hook are standout performances, blending humor and villainy masterfully. And I see you, Kenny Ramos, Barona Band of Mission Indians / Kumeyaay Nation!
The show’s fantasy, adventure, and music mix captivates, echoing the charm of the 1954 version starring Mary Martin. With the use of the full video screen, it’s an immersive journey. As a Navajo from Arizona, I appreciated the respectful nods to Indigenous cultures (Cahokia, where I hope audience members research) and the diversity of the cast. It’s a production that sparks curiosity and celebrates cultural richness.
Take advantage of this enchanting journey. Whether you’re young or simply young at heart, Peter Pan at Washington DC’s National Theatre promises a magical night out. Book your tickets now and let your imagination soar!
