The show was originally directed, choreographed and adapted by Jerome Robbins.“Peter Pan JR. is a story which encourages each of us to reconnect with the spirit of youth,” says Cohen. “MTI applauds the students from Main Stage as they find their own unique way to express what joy, freedom, adventure and imagination means in adolescence,” he adds. MTI, through its Broadway Junior™ division, works with the authors of classic musicals to create special editions suitable for students to perform.
