@Hotchka Peter Pan is so much fun! I have long wondered who winds the clock in Hook's crock. And I always enjoy helping Tink recover from the poison.

I worked on a production - I drew the short straw and was on a follow spot in a Juliette. During Peter's song 'I'm flying" he was supposed to land on a mantelpiece - but our Peter missed and ended up swinging, out of control, back/forth across the stage. He kept singing, but with a note of panic in his voice. He was safe, just dangling and swinging in the flying harness. As he swung he kept reaching out to me but I didn't break my cover (and grabbing him would risk dropping me and peter and the light about 4 meters down onto the stage floor.) Poor Peter. He nearly strangled me after the show. (And yes, the flying crew got him safely onto the stage after a half dozen swings.)

@karlauerbach In this new production they actually mention that at some point the croc's clock will wind down which is a concern for Hook! Fortunately there were no flying mishaps at our performance. I just wish there was a way to hide the wires. It's a fun show, but needs to develop just a bit more while it's on the road.
