We went to see Peter Pan today. Whatever the high-brow reviews say, it was good. Peter Pan (Ciaran Kellgren) was rather annoying, but then perhaps he was meant to; and that “I believe in fairies” moment was thoroughly embarrassing, but then it always is. My personal favourites were punky Tinkerbell (Itxaso Moreno) and Smee (Ian Hughes) with his Singer sewing machine and mandolin. And then there was this amazing coat-hanger contraption of a crocodile. (Yes, the coat-hangers are prominently featured in the production).
Practicalities: the tickets start from £22.50 and kids get 25% discount (apart from Saturdays and Sundays). The show in is a big circus-like tent, so you can see rather well even from cheap blocks A and E, but try to get the higher seats (KLM rather than ABC). The nearest tube station is Lancaster Gate, from which it is less than five-minute walk (well signposted). Last but not least: try not to go to London during any industrial action that can affect your travel (that’s exactly what we did).
