Peter Pan Goes Wrong: September 2nd, 8:00 PM Show

before I start bullet pointing every god damn amazing, incredible, beautiful thing that happened on this night, I want to give a huge shout out to the lady who works for the theater and upgraded our seats just because she saw me freak out over the doors opening (at least that's what my mom told me lol). we went from being kinda close to the stage, to like the frontest of front rows you could ever front. basically our new seats were in the first ever row of the theater and it was an awesome experience. thank you, kind lady! the gesture meant a lot to me and I hope you're doing well. alright here's my list of favorite parts and bits and other shit that happened when I saw this show!

Pre-Show

so we first saw gill and trevor on stage, with gill sweeping a broom right in front of us. when trevor walked onto the stage everyone including me was wooing him! but he was like "shut up, you stop that!!!" and since gill was in front of me he was like "seriously???" (I'm sorry gill, I will cheer you on next time I see the show!)

robert and trevor were arguing about something and a kid behind us started filming them. robert saw and yelled at him: "STOP FILMING. STOP FILMING THI- OH GREAT THIS IS GONNA BE ALL OVER YOUTUBE NOW, ROBERT GROVE YELLS AT KID."

at one point lucy ran down from the stage and tried running out of the theater, but she was immediately caught by robert

dennis was chatting with a kid which I thought was super adorable, until chris pushed him up to the stage and got yelled at by robert to go backstage

when robert, chris and trev were fixing up the lights problem on stage, they plumped the electricity cord RIGHT next to where I was sitting. they asked if was okay which I thought was really cool and sweet :) though chris was pointing the plug right at me for a bit lol

chris and trevor were talking to each other via walkie-talkies a LOT during preshow

before the show started trev told us the usual shtick you hear before a show starts. but before he told us to silence and put away our phones, he got a call from his mom and took a selfie with the audience right after the call

pretty cool experience, having these actors you know and love walk right in front of you constantly. I loved pointing out actors to my mom and having other people behind me also react, just being able to be like "that's freaking jonathan!" like he EXISTS!! they all exist! and it's rad!!! but anyway, onto the actual show!

Act 1

this part's gonna be pretty short since not a lot happens here that I can remember, and most of my favorite moments come from act two (which will be on another post)!

I'm a sandra and max shipper, so I got real excited during their parts together. but there was one part during the nursery scene where sandra climbs onto wendy's bed and she and max hold hands for a bit. it's super cute (and maybe some foreshadowing on what's to come???)

so instead of looking at the camera, sandra does like. a lot of body gestures as wendy when she has the monologue about seeing peter, really funny change lol

in the neverland scene where tootles first shows up, robert is dressed as a tree! the irrelevant trumpter, DISGUISED!!! probably not a reference to the shakespeare episode of goes wrong, but it was the first thing that came to my mind

also in the same scene trevor accidentally appears on stage, and when wendy and peter spot him, peter says he's a mermaid. trev gets pissed and does a really awkward mermaid movement

I'm very much used to the proshot version of this show, so the underwater sequence took me by surprise! I thought it was cool! there's fish swimming the wrong way, a mermaid loses her arm and head, at one point the stage lights turn on and we see everyone wearing black, and two actors form a penis with two blowfish and a long fish.

the sword bit. holy shit. "HOW COULD YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!?!?!?? THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE CAN UNDERSTAND!!!!!! TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

robert's pirate voice as starkey is one of my favorite bits from this show I'm so happy I got see (or I guess hear it) live.

a small warning for those sitting at the front in the next few weeks, there is a splash zone! in one of the lagoon scenes, dennis and max enter dressed up as mermaids (wearing roller skates) and they will spray you with water! I got sprayed a couple of times, but it was super fun. loved that bit

I forget when this happens but at one point the narrator's (daniel dae kim for this performance) mic stays on, and he talks to himself about how he does not like working for cornley. "I saw how the woman in the red shirt was looking at me, like 'I know there's a strike, but you can do better!' oh wait, is my mic on? oH SHIT-"

and that's all I remember from act one! at this point I'm having an alright time! again, I'm very much used to the official filmed version, so I already know the jokes that are reused for the stage and when they happen. some of them still crack me up, like robert's unintelligible pirate voice and the sword bit. the jokes for the stage are also really funny, there's one where they max brings out scissors as a spoon for their medicine, and he doesn't even realize that he's gonna be fed scissors until it's his turn to take the medicine.

Act Two will be on another post since it's getting real long the more I'm writing about it. I'll reblog this post with my thoughts on that act, so stay tuned :)

EDIT: act two thoughts are here if anyone's interested in reading more!
