"Peter Pan"
This enchanting ballet brings to life the timeless world of J.M. Barrie’s beloved novel, "Peter Pan." Audiences are transported to the magical realms of Neverland, where the mischievous Peter Pan leads Wendy, John and Michael Darling on an unforgettable adventure. With Tinker Bell’s sparkling magic, pirates led by the nefarious Captain Hook and a cast of Lost Boys, the stage is filled with wonder, danger and the thrill of everlasting childhood. Through expressive choreography and sweeping music, the ballet captures the spirit of flight, the longing for adventure and the bittersweet beauty of never growing up. Tickets are $20 each (assigned seating).
