"For its current national tour, which is at ASU Gammage through Sunday, the show has been updated for a modern audience with changes to the time period, some tweaks to the characters, and to remove the negative representation of the Native Americans in the original musical. However, only some of the changes to the book and score work. Fortunately, the touring cast are all excellent (including Nolan Almeida, who is wonderful as Peter), the creative aspects are colorful and impressive, and the flying effects are fantastic. So, while the changes may not all improve on the original musical, it's still an entirely magical theatrical experience that is sure to delight theatregoers young and old...The flying effects are top notch. While Paul Rubin's flight sequence choreography pays homage to Jerome Robbins' original choreography, it also features many fun acrobatic moves and delivers several spectacular stage images aided by David Bengali's immersive projections to create the feeling of exhilarating movement through time and space. I can't imagine anyone not feeling a rush of excitement and sheer giddiness when Peter and the Darling children take off in flight through the Darling nursery window." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
