Reviews
“Yes, I am a fan of KickstArt’s meticulous, glorious productions. Stead, King (and their extraordinary team) are perfectionists – and it shows… Spectacular, spectacular… this production of Peter Pan is festive season all sewn up in one massive, glittering bow.”
Sally Scott, Daily News
“From the magical flying sequences to the delight of the Neverbird, The Crocodile and the lovable Nana… the show drew gasps of delight and astonishment from last night’s opening audience, proving that the theatre can always surpass television for breathtaking effects.”
Caroline Smart, Artsmart
“Second star to the right, and straight on till morning… that’s the direction to a magical dreamland for the ever young Peter Pan. But there’s a much easier and shorter route to this glittering world of enchantment – a quick drive to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre… where J.M. Barrie’s greatest creation soars to new heights (literally) in a bright and bouncy production… perfect festive fare for the whole family.”
Billy Suter, The Mercury
“This interpretation of Peter Pan is a delight. It’s fresh, it’s inventive, it’s jam-packed with talent and could easily hold its own among children’s theatre productions in London’s West End… I found it hard to fault any aspect of the production. The choreography was polished… the songs sharp and upbeat, the singing clear and true… set designer Greg King clearly has a child’s imagination and an artist’s eye… it’s the sets that fuel the fantasy.”
Shelley Seid, Sunday Times
“Writer/director Steven Stead… cleverly blends together the right amount of silliness, camp and humour with a lurking sense of forboding, and a hint of underlying evil that the pirates and adulthood represent… It’s a ridiculously jolly romp that revives the old-school charm and wholesomeness of a bygone era while still catering to a modern audience. And it does all this so seamlessly that this production of Peter Pan is hard to beat.”
Colin Roopnarain, Sunday Tribune
