London Peter Pan Spectacle Set for U.S. Premiere in San Francisco in April

The new spectacle version of Peter Pan, seen earlier this year at London’s Kensington Gardens, will have its U.S. premiere in San Francisco, running April 27 – July 4 at The threesixty° Theater at Ferry Park on the Embarcadero opposite The Ferry Building.

This production is presented in a 1,350 seat theater/tent, where the entire interior is lit with over 15,000 square feet of Hi Resolution video so that both cast and audience are immersed in a CGI Neverland. When Peter and Wendy fly to Neverland, the audience flies with them over 400 square miles of virtual London and beyond. The structure was designed specifically for the premiere production in London and is being shipped to San Francisco for the engagement.

This new adaptation of Barrie’s classic story is directed by Ben Harrison and written by Tanya Ronder, featuring music by Benjamin Wallfisch. The production team includes Fleur Darkin (choreography), William Dudley (projection scenery designs), Gregory Clarke (sound design), Mark Henderson (lighting design), Nicholas Hall (fight direction), Sue Buckmaster (puppetry design), and Paul Kieve (illusion). Casting will be announced at a later date.
