Cathy Rigby Talks about Taking Flight as Peter Pan ~ Again!

Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby has been playing “Peter Pan” on and off for more than two decades.  And the latest tour of the hit musical has her flying throughout California and the rest of the country!

I interviewed Rigby during the tour’s recent stop at the San Diego Civic Theatre and found out what keeps her coming back to the role of the boy who never wants to grow up.

Rigby said she loves the story, the message and the people who come to see the show… then come back years later with their children!

And even after all of these years, she said she still gets a thrill out of flying!

“Peter Pan” will soon be flying into theaters in Sacramento and Los Angeles.  For show times and ticket information visit www.cathyrigbyispeterpan.com.

See Neverland Like You’ve Never Seen It Before!

threesixty° entertainment’s spectacular production of J.M. Barrie’s PETER PAN is wrapping up this week under the big top at  the Orange County Performing Arts Center, where it will close this Sunday, January 2, 2011.

I saw the show (fantastic!) and interviewed Captain Hook (actor Jonathan Hyde) himself!

Conceived by an award-winning creative team and featuring 23 actors, stunning puppets, epic music, dazzling flying sequences, and the world’s first 360-degree CGI theater set, PETER PAN is an extraordinary experience.

One of the most striking elements of this new production is the setting in which it is presented. The threesixty° Theatre, allows for performance “in the round” in a 1,300 seat theater-tent.

The entire interior of the tent is lit with more than 15,000 square feet of Hi-Resolution video — three times the size of Imax screens — so that both cast and audience are immersed in a CGI Neverland. When Peter and Wendy fly to Neverland, the audience flies with them over 400 square miles of virtual London and beyond.
