RE:Perfect Peter
The talent in this show is Broadway quality. We saw it as adults and found is impeccable. The costumes were beautiful, the choreography was imaginative. and the talent on stage was phenomenal. Blessed narrating was sublime. The children in the audience added so very much to the experience. I cannot recommend the performance enough.
