5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy successor of the original, December 27, 2000

I recently saw the video of this Broadway production, and I have to say that it's great! One of the most fun musicals of all time has been given a new life. All the great songs are on here, including "I'm Flying", "Neverland", "Captain Hook's Waltz" and so many more. I really recommend this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great revival, December 30, 2000

Forty some ye3ars ago I saw Peter Pan on its premier performance on television. I bought the record with Mary Martin and I have loved it. I have to say that the Cathy Rigby recording is even better. Cathy beings a youthful presence in her songs. The recording itself is technologically better. The recording includes bits from the play not on the original. And the whole recoding seems to have a life the original does not have. "I'm Flying" is exhilerating. "Once Upon a Time Long Ago" has a more haunting ache. The timing of the songs is different, but not worse than the original. Ms. Rigby is not trying to copy Ms. Martin. Which means for Peter Pan lovers there are two distinctive performances to appreciate. I wish I could see Ms. Rigby on stage. I saw Sandy Duncan some years ago and she was good. This is a great recording.

Watching Mary Martin perform peter pan as a kid, was such great joy... but I have to say that Cathy Rigby puts on a more worthy performance. The new orchestrations are full of life and energy, and the entire cast has great voices and perfomances. I recommend you buy this CD and "never grow up!"
