Uh, so why is Peter Pan a woman? Sounds like Mr. B Natural, look that up.

The usual, easier to find a woman that can play a "boy" than to find a boy that is adept at singing all the songs needed. Boys tend to have a problem balancing maturity with voice cracking.

Never seen the iconic 1960 version with Mary Martin? Done quite often.

So far, this production looks like a grade school play. Walken can't stop watching the teleprompter, and Allison is just wrong for the part. Flying shots go off into the sound stage lights. Sad. Give me Mary Martin!
