Peter Pan prequel ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ to move to New World Stages in the spring

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Broadway’s boy who wouldn’t grow up is not going away quite yet.

Producers of the play “Peter and the Starcatcher” said Wednesday that the production will have a new life after it vacates the Brooks Atkinson Theatre later this month.

It will be produced this spring at New World Stages, an off-Broadway complex of theatres that has housed other former Broadway shows like “Avenue Q,” ”Million Dollar Quartet” and “Rent”

The inventive “Peter and the Starcatcher,” adapted by “Jersey Boys” co-writer Rick Elice from Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s bestselling 2004 children’s adventure book, tells the story of how an English orphan became Peter Pan.

The Tony Award-winning design team of “Peter and the Starcatcher” will design the New World Stages production. Casting will be announced later.
