Review: Grand Rapids Ballet's 'Peter Pan' is a Spectacular Achievement of Artistry

Whatever one might expect from Peter Pan, the Grand Rapids Ballet delivered it—and more—in their tremendous production of this utterly magical contemporary storybook ballet. True to the original 1902 story written by J.M. Barrie about the boy who refuses grow up, it’s a tale particularly suited to being told largely without words and primarily through movement.

Review: 'Moulin Rouge: The Musical!' is a Spectacular Fairy Tale of a Show

It begins before it begins. On a stage artfully designed to look like a combination of a Valentine’s Day card, a red-light district, and a boudoir, a well-dressed man emerges, staring out into the audience. Beautiful women in minimal dress bend, gaze, and arch.

From Annie to Executive: Meghan Distel and Broadway Grand Rapids

At seven, maybe eight, Meghan Distel saw Annie. “I felt this connection to the actors,” she said. “Looking up at that stage, I could see myself.” It kindled in her not only the excitement shared by so many other children who saw that show, but an understanding: she would make theater part of her life.

First staged in October of 1600, Jacopo Peri’s “Euridice” is the oldest surviving opera. Peri, in sympathy with the majority of Florence’s musicians and men of letters, found inspiration in the spare and resonant stories of the ancient world.
