Peter and the Starcatcher announces cast

The full cast has been announced for the Off-Broadway return engagement of Peter and the Starcatcher, playing at New World Stages / Stage 1 from 18 Mar 2013.

The cast includes returning Broadway cast members Rick Holmes, now playing 'Black Stache,' Jason Ralph, now playing 'Boy,' along with Kevin Del Aguila as 'Smee,' Matt D'Amico as 'Slank' and Evan Harrington as 'Alf,' all reprising their roles.

They are joined by Nicole Lowrance (Molly), Edward Baker-Duly (Lord Aster), Josh Grisetti (Fighting Prawn), Alex Hernandez (Captain Scott), Nate Miller (Ted), Andrew Mueller (Prentiss), Jon Patrick Walker (Mrs. Bumbrake), Jordan Geiger, Joanna Howard and Graham Stevens.

Written by Tony Award nominee Rick Elice, and directed by Tony Award-winner Roger Rees and Tony Award-nominee Alex Timbers, the show recently ended its Broadway premiere at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, where it played from 28 Mar 2012 - 20 Jan 2013. The production won five 2012 Tony Awards (the most of any play of the 2011-2012 season).

The Broadway premiere opened to mostly excellent reviews: Inventive, touching and mostly hilarious (newyorktheatreguide); Ecstatic production (NY Times); Beaming with dizzy humor and delightful stage magic (NY Daily News); Clever and joyous entertainment (Back Stage); Flies high (NY1).

In Peter and the Starcatcher, directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, a company of twelve actors plays some 50 characters - all on a journey to answer the century-old question: How did Peter become The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up?

The entire design team of Peter and the Starcatcher, which includes Wayne Barker (Music), Steven Hoggett (Movement), Marco Paguia (Music Supervision), Donyale Werle (Scenic Design), Paloma Young (Costume Design), Jeff Croiter (Lighting Design) and Darron L West (Sound Design), will design the New World Stages production.

Originally developed by Disney Theatrical Productions in 2003, Peter and the Starcatcher received its first lab at Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2007, under the direction of Rees and Timbers. A full length version of the play was then written by Elice, further developed by Disney Theatricals in a Page to Stage production at La Jolla Playhouse in the winter of 2009.

Following revisions, the play received its first fully staged production in March 2011 at Off-Broadway's New York Theatre Workshop where it played from 9 Mar 2011 - 24 Apr 2011.

Peter and the Starcatcher is produced by Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Greg Schaffert, Eva Price, Tom Smedes and Disney Theatrical Productions.
