Via Emma for The Old Rep
June 2023: This week The Old Rep, on Station Street in central Birmingham, have announced family favourite Peter Pan The Musical. The production will fly into Birmingham from Tuesday 5th December and will run until Sunday 31st December 2023. This will mark the eighth annual production that The Old Rep have produced alongside the BOA Group.
This musical adventure follows the Darling children, Wendy, John, and little Michael as they embark on a voyage to Neverland with Peter Pan. Here they encounter a host of surprises from fantastical fairies and carnivorous crocodile to pack the pugnacious pirates led by the infamous Captain Hook himself!
Watch as Wendy and her brothers navigate the skies, flying over oceans to the enchanting world of eternal youth. Indulge in nostalgia as you join Peter Pan and his band of mischievous Lost Boys on a journey that will whisk you away and remind you of what it is to be a child again.
This swashbuckling production promises to be packed with captivating costumes, spectacular songs, creative choreography, and fantastic flying sequences. The Old Rep say Peter Pan The Musical will be an unforgettable theatrical extravaganza making it an unmissable family treat.
