Original Stage Productions
Back when Peter Pan was a popular stage play, the production pioneered new stage effects. In the original production, Tinker Bell was just a dot of light on the stage! She was moved around by a focused mirror. In the productions now, the character is a stunning puppet designed by Sue Dacre, a talented puppet maker for Jim Henson.

Believe it or not, Peter Pan didn’t wear all green. That was Disney reinventing the character. Reportedly, in the original productions, Peter wore tan, brown, auburn, and cowbells. To stay true to the time period, in our version of the story, Peter Pan wears a leather jacket, and his look resembles a young James Dean.
