Peter Pan
Peter Pan is an enchanting musical that both young and old can thoroughly enjoy. The musical, with music and lyrics by Moose Charlap, Carolyn Leigh, Jule Styne, Adolf Green, and Betty Comden, is the tale of a boy named Peter Pan, who refuses to grow up. Cathy Rigby stars in this performance, taking its audience on a thrilling adventure and a fulfilling musical journey. While the show left much to be desired in the form of acting, it was undoubtedly strong in its entertainment in the style of song and dance. We are introduced to Peter Pan very early in the show. Rigby's movement choices fit the character perfectly. She runs about the stage in a youthful and energetic fashion, making it very believable that she is not only a boy, but a young boy. In this way, her acting is very strong. However, when Rigby begins her first song, I Gotta Crow, her character takes a gigantic leap in the wrong direction. As she sings, it is evident that there is a middle-aged woman on the stage performing a song. Her vocals do not even begin to match the character she had so wonderfully
Nevertheless, stronger choices could have been made by Rigby to alter her vocals to better suit her character and make him more credible. She commanded the stage with her grace and strength every time she entered in a dance number. Also, you can not underestimate the power of a triple threat. Like most musicals, this one succeeded in taking its audience away to a new land, on a new adventure. Once Peter Pan and the children reach Never Never Land, we are introduced to the realm's other inhabitants. Schoeffler plays a pirate, but his accent 3leads one to believe that he is a Shakespearian actor rather than a filthy conspirator. When Peter Pan teaches the children to fly, it was a truly stunning and charming moment. It seems apparent that this actor was hired for her incredible dancing skills rather than her acting ability. She brought to the stage the quiet spirit of the Indians. If your character requires you to change things, like your voice or your physicality, do not ignore it. Another actor who seemingly let the importance of an even decent acting performance slip to the side, was Susan Lamontagne. It could be said that Lamontagne's talent for dance made up for the lack thereof in acting. It would have been suitable for them to be slightly more excited, after all, it is not every day one gets to fly above the world on an excursion to Never Never Land. The only thing that damaged the scene was the lack of enthusiasm the three children expressed at the fact they were flying. Her physical ability is fantastically spotlighted.
