Peter Pan El Musical
The ever innovative and very talented Leigh McClelland from Comberton Village College sent me a message on Facebook last week about a theatrical novelty taking place in the West End very soon.
Peter Pan El Musical: Spanish musical adaptation of JM Barrie's famous children's story comes to the West End's Garrick theatre from 28 March to 27 April. Peter Pan El Musical, which has enjoyed box office success in Spain, features all the familiar characters from this most English of stories - Wendy, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and Peter Pan himself - who reveal a previously unknown aptitude for languages by performing the musical entirely in Spanish, with English subtitles. Adapted by Cristina Fargas, the show includes 14 original songs, performed by a cast of 25, led by Spanish musical theatre star Miguel Angel Gamero as Captain Hook and Mr Darling. Interesting? Lx
So I investigated further and discovered a website of excitement with photographs, music and news from the production. I particularly like all the photographs of the production.
The production is in London for a month before returning to complete the tour of Spain with Badajoz, Zaragoza and Valencia. A shame London isn't nearer to Birmingham for a school trip but I might get there. If you want to find out more, go to the website, or here for tickets.
Here's a report in Spanish from BBC Mundo about Peter Pan
