Newsies Meets Peter Pan on NBC

October 10, 2014

Less than two months until Peter Pan Live! on NBC! So far, we’ve been pretty excited about the cast: Christopher Walken as a tap-dancing Captain Hook? Obviously. Allison Williams (“Girls”) as Peter Pan? Yes, please.

But OMG, you guys, it gets so. much. better. This week, NBC made the full casting announcement, and Newsies alums are taking over: Ryan Steele, Jacob Guzman, David Guzman, Daniel Quadrino and Garrett Hawe will play The Lost Boys. Alex Wong will be repin’ the Newsies in the “Islanders, Pirates, Litter Bearers and Mermen” category. And Jake Lucas will play John Darling.

If pulling a bunch of alums from one of the danciest shows to hit Broadway is any indication of the amount of dance in Peter Pan Live!, count us the most in. Remember to tune in to NBC on December 4 for the live event!
