Review: CYT's Production of Peter Pan
If growing up means
It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
This weekend your family can journey to Neverland with CYT's latest production of Peter Pan! We attended the opening night show where my children were on the edge of their seats with excitement as Peter Pan (Camille Yearry), Wendy (Katelynn Quick), John (Aaron Brown) and Michael (Mac Morey) flew across the stage in their adventures with Captain Hook.
The story is beautifully staged, with twinkly stars setting the backdrop for Neverland where the cast meet pirates, an indian tribe led by Princess Tiger Lily (Jamie Ras), and exotic animals. My children laughed out loud at the tick-tocking-Captain-Hook-chasing-Crocodile, and we were all amazed by the fantastic choreography (directed by April Okken) and musical performance of the drum dance (reminiscent of Stomp). Camille Yearry did a great job in her portrayal of Pan against the hysterical portrayal of Captain Hook by Seth Rector, but the showstopper for my girls was the Croc (played by Ryan Beard).
We thoroughly enjoyed the entire play from start to finish... and you could tell just by watching that every member of the cast did as well! Thank you CYT for taking us to a fantasy world with Peter Pan, where for one night, no one must "grow up."
Peter Pan is showing at the Bell Cultural Events Center MidAmerica Nazarene 2030 East College Way, Olathe KS. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www.CYTKC.org.
