A freshly reimagined production of Peter Pan has landed at Atlanta’s legendary Fox Theatre, bringing with it an all-star cast, a dazzling musical score and dynamic choreography.
This timeless musical, which has thrilled audiences for nearly 70 years, plays for a limited one-week engagement from April 29 through May 4. It returns in a bold new vision directed by Emmy Award-winner Lonny Price (Sunset Boulevard), with an additional book by acclaimed playwright Larissa FastHorse (The Thanksgiving Play).
“I am thrilled to be part of bringing Peter Pan to life for a new generation,” says FastHorse. “If you loved this musical before, you will still see the show that enchanted you, while discovering a Peter Pan that everyone can enjoy, without harm, for many years to come.”

Choreographed by Lorin Latarro (Waitress) and featuring breathtaking flying sequences by Paul Rubin (Wicked), this production blends the classic magic of Peter Pan with a fresh, inclusive perspective for a new generation.
“Peter Pan is one of the great treasures of the American Musical Theatre,” Price says. “The show nurtures and inspires the imagination of its audience and reminds us to keep alive the child within us all.”
Kruz Maldonado stars as Peter Pan, with Cody Garcia as Captain Hook and Hawa Kamara as Wendy. Bailey Frankenberg delights audiences in the role of Tiger Lily. Based on Sir James M. Barrie’s classic tale, the production features the iconic score by Morris “Moose” Charlap, with additional lyrics by Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Amanda Green and additional music by Jule Styne.
