User Review: 'Peter Pan: The Musical' Dazzles

Editor's Note: This review was written by Renee Tanner.

Wow, what a treat!  My family and I attended opening night for Peter Pan: The Musical, by our very own Twinsburg Community Theatre.

We are tough critics, especially after seeing Mary Poppins and The Addams Family on Broadway last month!  We are thrilled that such a small community can put on such a huge, professional performance.  Kudos to the Twinsburg Community Theatre!

The audience is immediately engaged by the upbeat music being piped into the auditorium, adding to the excitement of opening night.  

The play begins with the Darling family in the nursery of their home.  The audience is dazzled by the well constructed set, scenery, costumes, and props, almost mirroring something you would see on Broadway.  

The flight scene and the choreography between the cast and crew, all while moving the set “live” on stage, was nothing short of amazing!  With each scene change comes more surprises and the audience is thrust into a land of make believe.  

The actors were superb, connecting with the audience with each scene.  Hook’s flawless comedic timing is unparalleled, and Peter Pan’s charm and charisma enchant the young and old alike.  

The entire cast engages the audience so thoroughly that we were clapping, cheering, and stopping our feet in wild abandonment!  It was thoroughly entertaining and a must see for children (and adults) of all ages!
