Ballet BC Peter Pan

Went to Ballet BC's performance of Peter Pan & was so glad I had . I always loved JM Barrie's story when I was little & often read this 19th century classic to my 3 children Michael ,Wendy & Martina before tucking them into bed. John Alleyne, the artistic director of Ballet BC chose Septime Webre's version of the story with orchestral music of Carmon DeLeone. Shannon Smith was a perfect Peter Pan & I loved Edmond Kilpatrick as Captain Hook. The high flying techniques & acrobatic stunts definitely held my attention & helped take me into the fantasy world of Lost boys, crocodiles, fairies & pirates. It was an enchanting evening & was the perfect antidote to take me out of a stressed out week into Never Never Land.
