"Mary Martin is Peter Pan." That's what the American public has been saying for years. Martin's timeless performance in this classic favorite has become one of the best-loved musical treasures. Now, for the first time ever, that Tony and Emmy Award-winning performance full of memorable and magical moments for the entire family can be yours.
Remember the thrill of seeing Peter take Wendy, Michael and John on a miraculous flight to Never-Never Land? And don't forget the excitement of meeting the Lost Boys and the mischievous fairy Tinkerbell, or Tiger Lily and her Indian Braves, always on the alert for that troublesome Captain Hook and his band of Baccaneers.
In 1904, J. M. Barrie wrote this magical tale about a boy who could fly and who was determined never to grow up. In the mid-1950's, it was Mary Martin who made "Peter Pan" fly: on Broadway, in the successful Jerome Robbins production, and later on national television. In 1960, Martin and Tony Award-winner Cyril Ritchard returned to perform this treasured classic on live television for the last time.
Now you can re-live those moments-richly preserved in color - as Mary martin's "Peter Pan" takes flight one again. Hum along with the unforgettable score: "I Won't grow Up," "Never-Never-Land," and of course, "I'm Flying."
Let "Peter Pan" transport you back to that wonderful place "where dreams are born and time is never planned." Never-Never Land will never be far away again!
