Lied hosts ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ musical

The Tony Award-winning musical “Peter and the Starcatcher” is coming to the Lied Center for Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. March 23.

Tickets are on sale at http://liedcenter.org, at the Lied Center box office or by phone at 402-472-4747.

This swashbuckling prequel to Peter Pan takes a hilarious romp through the Neverland you never knew. Based on the best-selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, the musical won five Tony Awards in 2012. The New York Times, New York Magazine and The New Yorker all put it in their top 10 shows of the year.

A company of a dozen actors plays more than a hundred characters who are all on a journey to answer a question: How did Peter Pan become “the boy who never grew up?” This origin story of one of pop culture’s most beloved characters shows that one’s imagination is the most captivating place in the world.

“Peter and the Starcatcher” is suitable for younger audiences but recommended for those 10 and up.
