Reserved-seat tickets are priced at $10 each; purchase tickets here.
The Tony Award-winning show upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). The show explores the depths of greed, despair, the bonds of friendship, duty and love. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a starcatcher-in-training. When the ship is taken over by pirates — led by the fearsome Black Stache — the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. "Peter and the Starcatcher" is written by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker and directed by Robert Acosta and J.R. Coley.
