★★★★1/2 “Beg, borrow or steal a ticket for this show; this is not one to miss.” (Arts Hub)

Winner of 5 Tony Awards®, this theatrical masterpiece originally developed by Disney Theatrical Group flies into Brisbane from 14 March!

Peter and the Starcatcher is a hilarious, whimsical, adventure-filled play that sets the stage for the classic tale of Peter Pan. An ode to the power of imagination, the strength of friendship and finding your place in the world, let your dreams take flight as you follow Peter’s original journey from nameless orphan to the iconic boy who never grew up.

Starring Pete Helliar (The Amazing Race), Colin Lane (Lano & Woodley), Alison Whyte (Frontline), Paul Capsis (La Cage Aux Folles), Olivia Deeble (Home and Away), and Otis Dhanji (Aquaman).

Get ready to embark on a spectacular journey with 15 actors and musicians, 100 characters, 90 puppets, and 60 costumes onstage. Escape to the fantastical world you never knew existed before Neverland with Peter and the Starcatcher – because you’re never too old to never grow up.
