While it will star neither Mary Martin nor Cathy Rigby, J M Barrie’s Peter Pan, which will be performed at "the world’s first 360-degree CGI theatre," will make its U.S. premiere on April 27 at the Ferry Plaza. SF Citizen describes it as "something like Cirque du Soleil, except it’ll be cheaper and aimed more at kids."
Show performances will be on Wednesdays - Sunday. All the details you'll ever need are at Facebook, Twitter, or here.
Tickets, which are now on sale, range from $15 - $125.
In the meantime, let's hope this Peter Pan production doesn't end up like this one. Egads.
I have a gripe. My apologies in advance for the subsequent rant.
I walk by this every day on my way to and from work, so naturally I wanted to go online and check it out. First of all, tickets do not start at $15. They start at $45. As I mentioned before, I get paid in packing peanuts, so to me, $30 is six $5-footlongs. Word. Secondly, there's that annoying thing that all ticketing companies do now where there's a $6 ticket handling fee and a $3 ticket processing fee. WTF. Can't we just say the tickets start at $54 and skip the nickel-and-diming? But that isn't even really what irks me.
Get this: for delivery options on your Peter Pan 360 spectacular tickets, you have two options. The first is delivery by mail. The second is print from home. For option one there is a charge of $1. For option two there is a charge of $2. I'll repeat that so you can take it all in. To receive tickets in the mail, you pay $1, and to PRINT THEM FROM YOUR OWN HOME ON YOUR OWN PAPER WITH YOUR OWN PRINTER USING YOUR OWN INK, you have to pay twice as much. I'm beside myself.
That's really my only point. I could carry on about the ludicrousness of this, but instead I will just opt out of seeing this production and spare the blogosphere further whining.
