Let's groupthink on Peter Pan

[demandypants]

I am recording it for DD who is very excited about it, but there is no way in hell I am letting her stay up until 11 on a school night to watch it live. So we will watch it Friday, after dinner. I am kinda excited about Christopher Watkin. I wont lie.

I may watch the tweets about it, but we will more likely have Star Wars Rebels on.

People, people. The Sound of Music was horrible because Carrie Underwood was horrible. I think Allison Williams is probably a slightly better actress, but I don't find her likable. She has a bit of an Anne Hathaway thing going on for me (although I actually don't mind Anne Hathaway). Anyway, I heard a quote from her this morning:

"People like to 'hate watch' things; people are very cynical, that's a much more fun way to watch television," adds Williams, speaking during a behind the scenes video for the show on YouTube. "People are afraid to admit they like things. ... Why have we been taught that it's not OK to genuinely like anything anymore? ... Peter Pan lives and breathes by people believing in fairies. I mean, that's a literal moment in [the musical]."

As long as they let Christopher Walken do a little soft-shoe I'll be happy.

I watched "the making of" the other night (SHUT IT!) and he would only agree to do it if he could dance as much as possible.
I'm psyched for it.

But who is Allison Williams? She is completely unknown to me.

She's Brian Williams' daughter and one of the stars of 'Girls'. I've never seen Girls though, so I really just know her as his kid.

It's on! I missed the first 10 minutes or so.

[FloFTW]

It's already better than Sound of Music.

[pamela]

Peter Pan is too feminine instead of boyish. Even my 3yo is having a hard time believing it.

[secretlyevil]

Definitely too girly rather than boyish.

[josieposy]

Twitter wins already

[FloFTW]

Oh shit. My kids do not understand commercials.

Agreed.

Because of groupthink, I turned it on.
She seems like she is laughing to herself about the silly moves she is doing.
And I kinda wish they would just cast a boy.

[ringstrue]

I like it so far. DD LOVES it! She has to go to bed now tho so no more til tomorrow for us.

Oh and she totally bought PP was a boy.

[FloFTW]

Ok she's a little out of breath now. I feel exhausted for her.

TAP DANCING WALKEN

[EloiseWeenie]

I am certain that Amelia will make me put her tap shoes on when she watches this scene on repeat.

[pixy0stix]

I can't watch! ::whine:: Stupid football.

[Deleted]

I know women had been cast before but is there a reason a boy couldn't play this role? And why are the Lost Boys so old?

I like the cartoon.

I'm digging the garish set though. It's like a Yo Gabba Gabba episode.

[eponinepontmercy]

Wendy is insufferable. Tiger Lily cannot sing.

[taratru]

The four year old is very confused...Peter Pan is a boy, mom! I'm having a hard time explaining acting.

Walken is terrible. I'm sorry.

[FloFTW]

Is this Melissa Joan Hart's real husband? I want to be his Tinkerbell.

He is very disappointing. Allison Williams is not terrible.

Pleasantly surprised with her singing!

[gpw]

I know it's not popular, but I kinda like Allison Williams. I think she has a great voice, she's doing a great job, and she's really pretty!

I feel like this production is our punishment for accepting gay marriage.
