I'll have to watch Peter Pan (not-so) Live on Hulu, I guess. I had to miss most of it Thursday. Christopher Walken was the best part of what I did see, next to the magnificent Kelli O'Hara. Thanks for the Buzzfeed link, XrystalPond. Now I understand the pink parasol in SNL's parody. I love watching him dance. Singing? Eh, 's ok.
Re casting women to play Peter Pan: I'm not sure why this is such an issue. It used to be unseemly, if not downright immoral for a woman to act on the stage, so young men played women's roles. In opera, mezzo sopranos often sing "pants roles," in other words, young male characters, the idea being that their voices resemble barely-changed male voices. Convincing? No, but it sure beats the earlier, er, um, surgical option. From a developmental standpoint, Peter's role would be too demanding for a child to play without risking permanent vocal damage performance after performance, OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. :)
