“The kiss we never dared?
We'll dare in dreaming...”
—“Dream With Me,” Leonard Bernstein, Peter Pan

Definitely not your grandparents’ Peter Pan

Internationally renowned director Christopher Alden reveals a darker side to J. M. Barrie’s fantasy of childhood and the inner child in a psychologically gripping new production, by turns whimsical and sinister, transfigured with a joyous and shimmering score by Leonard Bernstein

Originally composed for a 1950 Broadway production, Bernstein’s Peter Pansongs have long lain like secret jewels, waiting to be rediscovered. Now Alden (revered for his New York City Opera production of Bernstein’s A Quiet Place) restores them to thrilling life in an intimate, contemporary staging, specially commissioned for the worldwide celebration of Bernstein’s centenary year.
