Peter Pan is in Singapore now till 20 January 2015. No. We are not talking about Hugh Jackman from director Joe Wright’s upcoming live-action Peter Pan Feature film which will only be on screens next July.
Peter Pan, The Never Ending Story made its Asian Premiere at the Resorts World Sentosa yesterday 27 November 2014. The theatrical production arrived from its European tour and features an entertaining time of visual effects and familiar famous musical tunes. J.M. Barrie’s tale of Peter Pan is brought to life with acrobatics, larger-than-life animals and amazing vocals by the two leads Dutch Sandor Stürbl who plays Peter Pan and newly-wed wife Lilly-Jane Young who plays Wendy.
Tunes that I couldn’t help sing quietly to myself last night the chorus from Alphaville’s Forever Young – “Forever Young, I want to be Forever Young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever Young”. Shirley Bassey’s Almost There, Josh Groban/Westlife’s You Raise Me Up, Seal’s Kiss from a Rose, Randy Crawford/Nicole Kidman’s One Day I’ll Fly Away or Rod Stewart’s I Am Sailing are just some of the many familiar tunes.
Peter Pan, The Never Ending Story shows at 8pm from Monday to Sunday except during rest days on Wednesdays. Additional shows at 3pm are available on Saturday and Sunday. Standard tickets are available at SISTIC or Resorts World Theatre from S$58 with restricted view, S$78, S$108 to S$138. Premium tickets at S$168 get you a glass of wine.
Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman will star in Director Joe Wright’s live-action Peter Pan Feature Film. He will portray the villainous Blackbeard in J.M Barrie’s book Peter Pan, the boy who would never grow up. Pan is a screenplay by Jason Fuchs with Greg Berlanti and Paul Webster serving as producers. The film is set for a worldwide release beginning 17 July 2015 in 3D and IMAX 3D.
