0:03 "All you do is jump at the ground and miss!" 0:16 "Of course, the stars never get your jokes." 0:26 This is the part in Hitchhiker's Guide where I stopped reading. 0:47 But can you bleed? 1:04 Mary Martin, Mary Martin. 1:13 They have very high ceilings. 1:31 That was a dick move, Pete. 1:44 This music makes me want to buy phones. 1:59 "All you have to do is attach strings to your costume!" 2:07 Shouldn't that turn them into bug-eyed cucumbers? 2:25 "Socialism!" 2:28 "Porn!"
I remember seeing this Peter Pan play when I was in 1st grade, and all my classmates including me were laughing from 2:43-2:51 seeing Michael running in the air.
also i mean they are not ready to go they need decent clothes for they trip to neverland and not there nightgowns just joking thank for uploading it it is very lovley to see that version
@PyroGothNerd Plus if the show was a hit and lasted a while, the producers didn't need to worry about Peter Pan growing a beard and hitting 190 cm! And seasoned, talented actresses could bring a kind of magic to the role that a young boy never could on stage.
Not only is the Peter Pan in this played by a woman, she's American too! Ridiculous! Why do Americans always have to fuck up good British movies/cartoons?
@WiccanHighPriest0 Also, Mary Martin played Peter in the original cast for the Broadway musical so it's only fitting that she also played the part when they restaged it for TV a few years later. Personally, I think she does a wonderful job and this is hands down my favorite Peter Pan movie.
The girl playing Wendy was a replacment for Lauri Peters (Liesl) in THE SOUND OF MUSIC. That's the main reason Martin wanted her for the production. Bill Snowden who played Frederick in the original cast of MUSIC is in this playing one of the lost boys. I agree, Wendy is terrible.
I'm SOOOOO glad you posted this whole movie. I LOVED it as a child and shared it with my kids via your post. THANKS! Its near imposable to find this any more.
@Inuyasha7543341 I prefer the stage version (especially Cathy Rigby, though Mary MArtin is ok too) to Disney, but I LOVE Hook, so i put that on the same level as disney.
@actordude9393 Cathy rigby looks more boyish and the choreography is way better in her version, but in my opinion Mary capture's peter's spirit even better.
I have been looking for this movie for the past ten year and I can't find it anywhere I owned it as a kid but I watch it so many time I burnt thew 2 vhs tape of it. If anybody knows where I can find it or if someone owns the full version of it I would gladly pay a lot of money for it. Please I will give you whatever you!!!!
I mean, what else are you gonna do when you find out the kids you're supposed to be taking care of are flying out the window to some far off place? I know I'd start spinning around too! XD
theatre royal-brighton whatever you do avoid peter pan there..unfunny and old script unedited for modern times and kids, hence flat and unfunny. plus they have the cheek to appeal for donations at the end, when funds already have to go to st olmonds street hospital.
When I was a child in the fifties,and this came on for the first time my parents said I was in a trance. Mary Martin was my idol as a kid and I have loved Broadway and musical theater ever since.
I dont understand why people think this version is better than Cathy Rigby's version. Can you guys please enlighten me? And plz dont be mean. Im just curious. ;)
It has been a tradition in the theater for Peter Pan to be played by a woman since it was first staged in the early 20th century. That's why a woman usually plays the role.
she made a great Peter too, sorry for my previous comment, in fact i didn't mean to be rude. I think it was a very nice show :) thankyou for ur answer
Man, I wish I could be Peter Pan... lol. I used to watch this movie all the time. And as to Wendy's acting, she's just like that, the character I mean. She's supposed to be fairly dramatic I think. But I missed this movie so much. Brings back memories :)
yea it lets you know how old we are this version came out before i was even around when i was a kid i loved this movie i have been trying to find it for 8 years were can i find it lol
OMG I've been looking for this movie everywhere!! I used to love this when I was a kid,I like a lot of ppl here had it in VHS jeje. The only thing I STILL don't like that I didn't like then... WENDY'S ACTING!!! My LORD couldn't they put someone else!! that is what I call OVER ACTING jeje
OMG! The Cathy Rigby is much better she REALLY goes high!! And they have "Fairy dust" is 100000000000000 times better!! + is the Cathy Ridgy they talk with emotion (happy,sad,crying, & etc...) and they chang the set SOOO fast!! = Mary Martin doesn't have accent!! And she talks like a girl!! BUT SHE IS DOING PETER PAN (A BOY)
if u think its so much better then y r u on part 4 of this? also this was earlier and i love this version! and if cathy rigby goes so high how can she act a boy? usually boys at the age peter is supposed to be have lower voices and also the person who wrote the music meant it to be for MARY MARTIN not cathy rigby.
I found out recently that my kids when they were litle would put this tape on when my father in law would baby sit knowing he would fall asleep and sneak out and be back before my wifeand i got back.....
It's more about the voice. This was suppose to be a boy who never had his voice change, and if this was preformed a long period time then the boy would grow up, and his voice would change. Having a girl play the role would take out having to train a new Peter Pan ever few months
There has been a tradition of women playing Peter since the first production in London in 1904. One of the most successful was with Eva Le Gallienne -who also goes down in history in the "you can't make this up" column as a famous lesbian actress. Perhaps it is because a man couldn't convincingly play a boy. Perhaps that women were more graceful in the flying by Foy. In musical versions, I daresay a male voice would have been jarring as a "boy who never grew up". Except Michael Jackson!
