Some observations

1. You know how they remake movies b/c the technology has improved? Yeah. Musical theatre should take a clue.

2. I had a new musical theatre revelation, which isn't often. I thought I had them all years ago. Regardless, revelation: I am going out on a limb to say that the majority of shows might only be popular because a sampling of society was forced to put them on in high school. Therefore, really what people like about them is the fact that they remember their first kiss backstage during [insert duet or trio here] and the butterflies they felt as a result of said kiss as they stood backstage immediately following said kiss getting ready to go on for [insert large group number here].

Just a hypothesis.

3. Tinkerbell is a beyatch first class.

4. Peter Pan is not for children.

5. Peter represents musicians evrywhere. Wendy, the girls who fall for them. It's rather simple.

Peter wants a mother and to have fun, Wendy wants a relationship. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Wendy keeps hope alive for this possibility. Peter "takes her to Neverland" where she's forever changed. There's a band of other lost boys who do whatever Peter or the miniature flying hottie say. Wendy's world is rocked, she goes home. Peter gets bored and comes back for her, but she's got a clue now - "I'm ever so much more than 20!." Peter doesn't understand, but with a shrug takes Wendy's daughter, b/c Wendy specifically didn't really matter as much as the role she filled.

I'm just sayin'.
