"Peter Pan" Flies with Flaws and Fortitude

·

I watched “Peter Pan: Live!” primarily to see if my doubts could be assuaged by the opening credits. The first shrill of the orchestra from Grumman Studios in Bethpage, New York led a whimsical rush of musical score lighting up a bird’s eye view of London in miniature, the camera panning seamlessly to the home of the Darling family. High expectations had been laid for this production since its first preview, but thankfully, they weren’t too high for the work of a sprinkle of fairy dust.
