@scrumptiousb0dy back when Peter Pan was performed as a play, Peter was played by a woman because the character of Peter was supposed to be a boy of prepubescant age, and due to child labor laws and requirements of the material, they couldn't have an 8 year old boy play Peter.

@mcj545 ooo. but they couldnt find a olerman that looked young atleast?

[mcj545]

@scrumptiousb0dy The problem is the voice. While they could find an older man who looked young, he wouldn't SOUND young. Most young boys are able to sing in a soprano voice or a high alto voice. Most men above the age of 13 are unable to sing that high anymore, there for from a vocal standpoint a woman was the only choice.

It's Now Tradition for a woman to play peter Pan in the play! You can look it up but I think Mary Martin was the first ! after they have all been female Gymnast! i can't remember but some of them were quite famous from the olympics!

Had it on VHS, with commercials at beginning, end, and "intermission." My dad says I watched it 60 times before I turned 5...which I don't remember! One of my all time favorites, represents a more innocent time. Thank you for the post!!!

It says: "Has been very limited in its showing. The DVD is long out of print and expensive to own." That's one of the many reasons FOR piracy. Thanks to YTD, there is now another copy of this classic.
