You're missing Peter Pan

The songs Peter sings are in the alto range, and though a pre-pubescent boy could hit the notes, he won't have the breath support to be heard in the rafters during the dance numbers.

And that's why the part is played by an adult woman.

They totally age. Peter doesn't age because he was raised by fairies and absorbed a lot of Fairy Magic. The rest of the lost boys age and when they get too old he kills them to keep the illusion of eternal youth so he doesn't have to accept the moral ramifications of immortality.

The Lost Boys not aging was a Disneyfication. And it fucked up the moral of the story.

Pan has been a woman in non-singing adaptations. It's a symbolism.
 
Wait... you guys know Pan's cast as a woman because women look more like little boys, right? The 1904 cast was the first to cast a woman, to get around child labor laws. If Pan, the lead role, was a child, all the other cast members would have to be children, and in England at the time that wouldn't have worked. So they cast adults. The decision was made not by the creator of Peter Pan, Barrie, but by the director of the 1904 stage production Charles Frohman. Barrie had very little input because he sold the production rights and wouldn't have been able to make such a decision. This information is easily googled... it wouldn't have been any symbolic decision from the author because he would have had no input.

I did not know that. I thought that Neverland was just a magical place where you stopped aging, and that's why the pirates never aged either.

Bookmarked for later.

The pirates age too. It's actually a huge part of Hook's character. He's trying to escape before he dies of old age and he has a hard time because he's trapped by the Fairy Magic. The clock that the alligator ate in the Disney version, the way it ticks, is symbolic of that lost passage of time that is slowly murdering him.

Oh Mr. Marshmallow. Please learn that every Disney cartoon is based off a terrible real life story or a dark dark novel.

Like Cinderella.
Bitches really did cut and chisel their feet to fit into a shoe.
It goes back to foot binding in China *shivers* >.<

I knew that. I just never thought much about Peter Pan and much of the book was in the movie.

That's why "Into the Woods" is my favorite fairy tale musical. It had darkness. I'm pissed that the movie version is being Disneyfied. Johnny Depp as the Wolf? Fuck that shit.

Yeah. My favorite princess is Ariel. Do you know why that had to be a 'true love' kiss? Why she couldn't just grab him and kiss him? She asked why humans had such short life spans and was told that, unlike mermaids, they had eternal souls so they had short physical lives. She wants to be immortal, and decides to steal a soul. She's told that humans split their souls when they fall in love and get married, so she tries to trick the prince into falling in love with and marrying her so she can steal his soul. He instead falls in love with a nun, so her sisters tell her to kill him and bath in his blood so she can turn back into a mermaid, because apparently that's a thing that happens. So she goes to kill him, and realizes that she can't. So she instead uses her new empathy to kill herself, because... apparently somebody had to die? For reasons that were never really specified? But because of her empathy she earns the right to turn into sea foam for a couple centuries and try to earn a soul via good deeds. It's never really explained how sea foam can do good deeds, but Disney felt that that story was too dark. For some reason.

Hmmm. It looks good, like well-made, well acted. But yes, the song makes it all Disney World lol Johnny will probably be really good at being like malicious and deceitful, because he has a sinister seductive quality about him. But if he acts silly ugh. I'm sure it will have its dark moments.

But making it all whimsical appeals to kids, who will pressure their folks into buying it and..alas..profit! Great success, veddy much good. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/images/smilies/borat.gif

In the play, the Wolf was pure sex. I hear they've pretty much erased that.
