bhostetle I'm just going to say what we are all thinking.Wendy looked about ten years too old, but worse, Peter looked post-op.Never, have I cared that Pan was played by a woman until now. Never has Pan looked so much like a woman, every single view.I don't think I'll ever want to watch any version of Peter Pan again, not even Hook. This has ruined everything.I'm sorry if you disagree, dislike my post, that is fine.Worst Pan and Wendy, ever.I still don't have enough lines...it's terrible. It's awful, it's the worst.

clarinet_king I liked the Peter Pan that Disney produced in 1953, I liked the animation and the story line. Captain Hook's fear of the crocodile was hilarious and Mr. Smee was the comic relief for the pirates. This NBC version is far from great, it was terrible. I watched about 5 minutes at a time because my sister recorded it. She loved it and constantly sang the annoying songs over and over. Ms. Williams Peter Pan was overly cocky and tried to be center of attention the entire time. Christopher Walken showed little emotion and was horrible in this role. He did other brilliant movies, this isn't one of them. The crocodile was a robot controlled by people and Hook did not willing give up his ship. IN SHORT, don't bother to watch if you liked the Disney version.

yastepanov I was hoping NBC learned from "The Sound of Music - Live" and they did, just not very much.The lead role is rather well played, but Christopher Walken as Hook was a HUGE letdown. Walken plays the SAME PATTER as he does for every role. The problem is, the lines were written for someone with a rather lower class English accent which Walken did not (perhaps fortunately) even attempt, but the overall result was terrible.Walken can act, but he didn't even phone this one in, he sent it snailmail.Of course, being live has the problem of the flying harnesses, but because the camera zooms in on the characters (instead of the single POV you get during a stage presentation) the wires are not only visible, but annoying.Maybe NBC should stick to Saturday Night Live! and avoid Broadway.

martinc003971 I thought it was good not great but good. I thought Allison was a good pick for Peter Pan considered she's wanted to play the role since she was 3. I honestly would have picked Tim Curry or Jason Issacs to play Hook . Christopher Walken had no energy behind his interpretation of Hook. Sad really. The One thing I LOVED about Walken and Williams together was the duet "Duel" SO GOOD! The actress that played Mrs. Darling was also GREAT. My favorite version of the musical was Cathy Rigby's version. I have seen her twice live in 1997 and 2005, I have also seen Mary Martin and Sandy play Peter as well. I'd give Peter Pan Live! a 6/10. Allison was the best part of it honestly. I would see her on Tour if she goes on tour with it.
