Review: Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre flies high with 'Peter Pan'
TribLIVE: Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's revival of the Jorden Morris staging of “Peter Pan” is a delightful and action-packed entertainment well designed for families, including young boys and girls. The ballet first performed this version, which features spectacular flying sequences, in October 2011.
This brings me back to when my high school did a performance of Peter Pan during my senior year. This was probably one of the biggest shows I was ever part of; from the fly system to the revolving sets the audience was new bored. I can’t disagree with the article when they talk about the action packed entertainment. As I look at many of the scenic component it is crazy to see the similarities of the set but also the differences. Looking at their design I begin to wonder how they went about doing some of the effects, that was probably one of the biggest challenges we faced at my school and I would be very interested to see how a professional company would do it differently. I’ve only been a student a CMU for one semester and looking back, I could already make a laundry list of things that I would do differently.
