REVIEWS:
"A sensational reimagining for a new generation."
DC Theatre Scene
"Sweet and saucy... This charming new version of J.M. Barrie’s timeless play is all about girl power... It’s lovely to see Wendy as the most important character in the story this time — and to know that she’s going to make a fantastic grown-up."
The Washington Post
"A sensational reimagining for a new generation... With a story that appeals to nearly every generation... Peter Pan and Wendy is a must-see this holiday season."
DC Theatre Scene
"Delightful… run, don’t walk to see this brilliant and happy production!"
The Georgetown Dish
"Beguiling... majestically magical… Lauren Gunderson has looked at the classic tale through a lens that can see what daughters and sons face growing up today."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"A show that will delight adults and children alike. It is pure, decadent fun... [it] has all the magic, joy, and much of the potency of J.M. Barrie's original, but is reimagined for a contemporary audience."
Broadway World
"Imaginative… A buoyant and sparkling new reimagining of J.M. Barrie’s classic tale."
