Fathom Events & NT Live Bring Peter Pan to Theaters on June 11th


From our friends at Fathom Events...

Beloved Classic ‘Peter Pan’ Takes Flight, Arriving in U.S. Cinemas from National Theatre Live, One Day Only on June 11

Captured live at London’s National Theatre, moviegoers should prepare to be whisked away to a land of magic, music and make-believe

Following its hugely successful run at the National Theatre, “NT LIVE: Peter Pan” hits cinemas nationwide for a special one-day event. Directed by Sally Cookson and co-produced by Bristol Old Vic, the wondrously inventive production of J. M. Barrie’s cherished tale will be shown at 11:00 AM local time on Sunday, June 11, 2017, from Fathom Events, BY Experience and National Theatre Live.

When Peter Pan, leader of the Lost Boys, loses his shadow, headstrong Wendy (Madeleine Worrall, Jane Eyre) helps him to reattach it. In return, she is invited to Neverland, where Tinker Bell the fairy, Tiger Lily and the vengeful Captain Hook (Anna Francolini, wonder.land) await.
