“‘Peter Pan Goes Wrong’ is a total blast and one of the very few Broadway attractions where kids are encouraged to clap, boo and talk back to the annoying actors,” writes Tribune critic ChrisJonesTrib.
Henry Shields, Ellie Morris, Henry Lewis, Charlie Russell, Jonathan Sayer, Neil Patrick Harris, and Matthew Cavendish in"Peter Pan Goes Wrong."
But this isn’t a kid’s show, per se. It’s a good date-night choice too, given its capacity to talk to both sides of the great political divide, to make your forget the troubles of the week and to actually enjoy the rapidly vanishing art of physical comedy: prat falls, head slaps, collapsing props, the whole kit and caboodle of comedic pleasures.
The center hook of the show is Shields, playing the director and leading actor. Anyone familiar with the classic sitcom “Fawlty Towers” can’t miss the homage to John Cleese’s Basil Fawlty, but whatever Shields might lack in originality, he makes up for in the force of his fake pomposity. Add in Lewis as a classic sidekick playing the nursery dog, among others; Nancy Zamit as a less-than-graceful Tinker Bell; Chris Leask as the backstage malcontent, and Jonathan Sayer as a hapless cast member who needs to have his lines fed to him through radio-frequency headphones and, well, you have all the comic types.
