    I saw a production of this play at the Kansas City Repertory Theatre. It was fun and full of magic! The audience boasted people of all ages, and this play had something for all of them.

    A marvelous adventure that has a great deal to teach us about dreams and standing up for what's right in community. Wonderful!

    A really lovely and fun adaptation. It maintains all of the magic of the original, with more spunk and contemporary humor. Having Wendy be a scientist-in-bloom is brilliant, and Tiger Lily is totally wonderful, as is the centering of indigenous lives and land. A really ingenious retelling that examines how idealized notions of boyish fantasy (Pirates! War! Mermaids!) stand in as metaphors for patriarchal, materialistic society. A great version of a classic that deserves plenty of productions!

    A remarkable adaptation. With sharp, musical dialogue and brilliantly reimagined characters, this play weaves together the magic and adventure of the original story with new insights into what it means to dream, to grow up, to redress wrongs, and to work together.

    Best version of Peter Pan, hands down. As a kid, I never understood why Wendy would be cool with going to a place like Neverland just to sew pockets and look after a bunch of kids. This Wendy makes much more sense. I love the girl power trifecta of Wendy, Tiger Lily, and Tinkerbell, and so much more about this play. I hope it comes to my neck of the woods when theater returns.

    Every moment written in this feminist retelling of Peter Pan is an absolute joy. Funny, smart, imaginative, and delightful, the love put into this work by Gunderson is truly a marvel. I cannot wait to see this on a stage in the near future. Brava!

    A feminist reimagining of the beloved story that gives Wendy, Tinkerbell, and Tiger Lily smart, feisty, and deeply necessary new voices. A marvel. I love it on the page, and ache to see it realized on stage.
