“Peter Pan Live!”

Welcome to this special review of Peter Pan Live!...no the review is not live, but the movie, that I am reviewing used to be live (or at least was recorded live). Now, as recently announced this movie was the winner of the poll that I did a few months back. I would like to thank everybody that participated in my end of the year poll. So, let's begin!

Background

After the success of The Sound of Music Live!, just one month later, NBC (in January of 2014) announced that their next musical would be none other than Peter Pan! They hired back Craig Zadan and Neil Meron as executive producers. Then, a couple of months later, they hired Allison Williams and Christoper Walken to be Peter Pan and Captain Hook respectfully.

Plot

Seriously?! If you don't know the plot of Peter Pan by now, you are living under a rock!

Opinion:

Let's start with set design. The set design for this production is marvelous. The choreography was wonderful. Okay, you want to talk about Christopher Walken? Let's talk about Christopher Walken. He did a really good job. He was sort of like Willy Wonka in the opening scene of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when he seemed like a feeble old man but was actually spry. Alison Williams did a really good job as well. I think that she was better than Carrie Underwood in The Sound of Music Live!! Then again, Carrie Underwood NAILED the singing part while her acting, on the other hand, was MEH. But, I'm getting off topic.

I am going to give you a couple of nitpicks here: Now, this has basically nothing to do with the show itself. NBC, why do stretch the special out for 3 hours?! I do not care for the fact that it seemed dragged out just to get the sponsorships in. Oh, and here's another thing. On the DVD, why don't they have a scene selection.

That's my review of Peter Pan Live! Thank you once again for everyone that voted. And I will definitely be doing another end of the year show next year. But I still have many other blogs to get through before that. Now, I am proud to give Peter Pan Live the highest rating that I can bestow: five gold stars! Goodnight and Bee Happy!™
