20110617

Fly­ing by Foy, the world renowned ex­pert in the­atri­cal fly­ing, will as­sist Must Come See Pro­duc­tions (MCS) in bring­ing the full length mu­si­cal Pe­ter Pan to T&T for the very first time. The show will be held at Queen's Hall for two mag­i­cal week­ends-June 24 Ju­ly 3. Must Come See Pro­duc­tions, the pro­duc­tion arm of the UWI Arts Chorale, is a non-prof­it or­gan­i­sa­tion, com­mit­ted to cel­e­brat­ing, en­cour­ag­ing, and pro­mot­ing the di­verse tal­ents and works of T&T. Known for its panache in the Broad­way genre, MCS has been award­ed 14 Cacique awards from the Na­tion­al Dra­ma As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (NDATT). Past suc­cess­es in­clude Fid­dler on the Roof, Oliv­er!, The Sound of Mu­sic, Dis­ney's Beau­ty and the Beast and 2010's AI­DA.

This year's pro­duc­tion, Pe­ter Pan, tout­ed as be­ing the "one chil­dren's show that adults have no trou­ble en­joy­ing," promis­es to be an­oth­er spec­ta­cle as it fea­tures the com­bi­na­tion of tech­ni­cal fly­ing prowess, sea­soned ac­tors, an award-win­ning pro­duc­tion team, live or­ches­tra, and a host of tal­ent­ed singing and danc­ing chil­dren, will make the mu­si­cal an event not to be missed this sea­son. Pe­ter Pan, is the beloved chil­dren's sto­ry writ­ten by nov­el­ist JM Bar­rie and set to mu­sic by Broad­way leg­end Jule Styne and Mark Char­lap. In this sto­ry, Pe­ter Pan is the boy "who won't grow up."

Ac­com­pa­nied by Tin­ker Bell, Pe­ter Pan meets Wendy, John and Michael in their nurs­ery while search­ing for his shad­ow. He teach­es them how to fly and jour­neys with them to the mag­i­cal Nev­er­land. There they join the Tribe of the Lost Boys, meet In­di­ans and bat­tle pi­rates, led by the no­to­ri­ous Cap­tain Hook.

Pe­ter Pan fea­tures a Cacique-laden cast and crew, in­clud­ing Jer­rylee David in the ti­tle role of Pe­ter Pan, well-known lo­cal ac­tor Kearn Samuel as Cap­tain Hook, and a host of tal­ent­ed singing and danc­ing chil­dren in the roles of the Dar­ling Chil­dren and the Lost Boys. Louis McWilliams will di­rect, and Cacique award win­ner Jes­sel Mur­ray, who re­cent­ly di­rect­ed the Na­tion­al Steel Sym­pho­ny Or­ches­tra at NA­PA, will con­duct the live or­ches­tral ac­com­pa­ni­ment. Cacique award-win­ning cos­tume de­sign­er Paulette Al­fred-Guy-James, scenic de­sign­er Sarah Mor­ris and Cacique award win­ning chore­o­g­ra­ph­er Adele By­noe round out the pro­duc­tion.
