Peter and the Starcatcher (Gallery Players) NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if you like family-friendly theater with a large, dedicated cast on a good set for off off Broadway. Interesting costumes.

Don't see it if you dislike fast & varied voice projection by actors with additional difficulty in carrying out accents. It's a big show for a small stage!

See it if you enjoy fairy tale origin stories or are just looking for something joyful and imaginative.

Don't see it if you're a fairy tale purist.

See it if As someone who's not a fan of family friendly theater, I loved it. Amazing cast, costumes, set, etc. Really clever use of props and movement

Don't see it if If you don't want to schlep to BK, although it wasn't that difficult and definitely worth it. Plus the theater is really nice & comfortable

See it if Fun, children's storytelling style theater. Clever references to Peter Pan. Actors get laughs. Creative staging. Cute for young people.

Don't see it if Tedious set up of the story until the action really starts in Act 2. Not funny or witty enough and needed more music. Lacks dramatic depth

See it if Gallery's ambitious DIY production is greatly aided by Gallagher's fleet staging & an eager, effervescent cast led by an adroit Brown & Beer

Don't see it if While production values are minimal (except the "mermaid ballet" number) & lighting can get dodgy, the script's 'la joi de la vie' shines

See it if you want to see a "prequel" to Peter Pan. You like musical plays and/or stories about Peter

Don't see it if Want to see a prequel to the Wizard of OZ [see Wicked] Read more

See it if you’re interested in a charming family-friendly show about how Peter Pan came to be. Black Stache is particularly hilarious!

Don't see it if you’re looking for a serious show or something big-budget. Narration of inner thoughts makes this very much a tell-don’t-show experience.

See it if Peter Pan’s supposed origin story. Whimsically told by a wonderful cast (w/several newcomers) on a simple but effective set. Lots of laughs.

Don't see it if you prefer your theater serious, sophisticated or profound. Read more
