'Peter Pan' set to fly from San Francisco

Variety: Is it theater? Or is it the movies?
The Brit import of J.M. Barrie's play "Peter Pan" (not to be confused with Leigh and Charlap's venerable musical version) just opened in San Francisco, and they're doing it outdoors on the Embarcadero in a big white tent. Not any old circus-like tent but one whose upper walls are alive (if that's quite the word) with a 360-degree-projected CGI movie. Down below is the stadium seating and, in the middle of it all, the stage with a couple dozen live actors.
