4 | November 22, 2017 | 22nd century media holiday guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com ‘Peter Pan’ continues holiday tradition For more than three decades, Music Theater Works’ December production has been a North Shore tradition, bringing families together to enjoy a favorite musical over the holidays. Children, parents and grandparents alike have delighted in these annual presentations of beloved operettas and Broadway classics, and many young people remember them as a formative experience in kindling a life-long love of the theater. The tradition continues this year when Music Theater Works presents the perennially popular musical, “Peter Pan,” at Evanston’s Cahn Auditorium from Dec. 23-Jan. 1. The story of the boy who would not grow up and his swashbuckling nemesis, Captain Hook, has been near to the hearts of theatergoers since Peter first flew across a London stage more than 100 years ago. There have been many versions of this tale over the years, but this 1954 Broadway musical adaptation has emerged as perhaps the most favored of all. When a producer approached Mary Martin, Broadway’s premiere leading lady, with the opportunity to build a new “Peter Pan” around her abundant talents, she jumped at the chance. Martin was so enthusiastic about the project that she insisted on assembling the production team herself. Hearing the song, “Young at Heart,” on the radio, she decided then and there to hire its lyricist, an unknown twenty-something named Carolyn Leigh. Leigh brought along her even younger writing partner, the composer Morris “Moose” Charlap. Martin was delighted with her young songwriters, and felt they would bring a youthful exuberance to a tale that cried out for just that. In Broadway legend Jerome Robbins’ original staging, “Peter Pan” was an immediate sensation on Broadway, and soon reached an audience of millions more on NBC television in 1955. The broadcast was so popular that the cast went into the NBC studio again in 1956 and 1960, and that 1960 taping was rerun year after year, introducing generations to this evergreen musical. A whole new generation can experience it live this December. Rudy Hogenmiller, Music Theater Works’ artistic director, will stage a magical new production with a cast of 33 led by Aubrey Adams (Paramount Theatre’s “Mamma Mia!” and “West Side Story”) taking the title role, and Music Theater Works’ longtime leading man, Larry Adams (“South Pacific” and “Kiss Me, Kate”) playing everyone’s favorite villain, the irrepressible Captain Hook. Among the young performers playing Peter’s loyal Lost Boys are Wilmette’s Asher Alcantera and Daniel Shoemaker. Roger L. Bingaman will lead the full orchestra playing the lush original Broadway orchestrations. So whether you’re a newcomer or a lifelong “Peter Pan” devotee, here is a chance to be part of an enduring local tradition, and fly off to Neverland this holiday season. Look out for crocodiles! “Peter Pan” will run Saturday, Dec. 23 through Monday, Jan. 1 at Evanston’s Cahn Auditorium, 600 Emerson St. The audience can meet and talk with cast members after the matinee performances on Dec. 26, 27 and 30. As always at Music Theater Works, admission for those 25-and-younger is half price. For tickets, call (847) 920-5360 or visit www.Music- TheaterWorks.org.
