Peter Pan (1955)
Original Air Date: March 7, 1955
J. M. Barrie's classic tale of the boy who wouldn't grow up was transformed by director/choreographer Jerome Robbins into one of the world's most beloved and frequently performed musicals. Peter Pan is the leader of a tribe of Lost Boys, but their lives in Neverland lack a loving mother's hand, so Peter brings young Wendy Darling and her brothers to Neverland, where their non-stop adventures involve hungry crocodiles and nasty pirates, commanded by the notorious Captain Hook.
