20 Nov 2014 Cabot High School Theatre Department soars high with 'Peter Pan the Musical'

Cabot High School recently presented the high-flying adventure “Peter Pan the Musical!”

Broadway’s timeless classic based on J.M. Barrie’s fairy tale whisked the audience to Neverland filled with the villainous Captain Hook (Brandon Turner) and Pirates, adventurous Lost Boys, fierce Indians, beautiful Mermaids and Jungle Creatures.

Performing the original 1954 Broadway Version, the show begins at the Darling household, where Peter Pan (Savannah Woods) and Wendy (Ashley Julison) meet for the first time.

Peter flies the Darling children away in state of the art aerial apparatuses. This was the first time Cabot High School ventured into aerial stunt work for a production.

Dancing Indians, led by Riley Hoffer and Kelsey Drees as Tiger Lily, were a highlight of the show. J.P. Gairhan, a veteran of the stage, lent his comedic prowess as Smee.

Grown-up Wendy was played by Marcela Shipley. The roles of Mr. and Mrs. Darling were performed by Spencer Worth and Autumn Romines. McKenzie Marks was John Darling, and Logan Williams was Michael Darling.

The role of Liza was split between Ashton Williams and Zoe Eddington.
