Peter Pan El Musical in London starring Miguel Angel Gamero
A spanish language version of the classic JM Barrie story featuring new songs. With English subtitles.
Please Note: It is expected that this musical production will be using a pre-recorded backing track for the music.
"A musical full of imagination for all the family! ABC
A Spanish musical adaptation of JM Barrie’s famous children’s story Peter Pan in London which has already enjoyed box office success in Spain playing over 1,000 performances to some 1,000,000 people! Peter Pan the Musical features all the familiar characters from the classic story including Wendy, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and Peter Pan himself.
"Sophisticated and spectacular staging" El Mundo
The musical, which is performed entirely in Spanish with English surtitles, is a family show and is suitable for children of all ages. Adapted by Cristina Fargas, the show remains faithful to JM Barrie’s story and includes 14 original songs. The cast of 25 is led by Spanish musical theatre star Miguel Angel Gamero as 'Captain Hook' and 'Mr Darling'.
Regarding the proposed use of a backing track to provide the music for this West End musical production, a spokesperson for The Musicians Union said: "The UK producers approached the Musicians Union to seek permission for Peter Pan El Musical to come into town. We made it quite clear that there was an opportunity for our members, or Spanish musicians for that matter, to secure four weeks’ employment. The Union regards the use of live musicians as paramount in live theatre. We raised objections but it appeared that the contract for the show to come into London had already been signed, negating the due process required under the conditions of the agreement. The Spanish producers have made it quite clear that they could not afford to employ a live band despite reports that the cost of the West End run would be in the region of £1million. However, they have stated they will employ a solo foyer musician for the duration of the run."
