by Gina Marie Rodriguez, JerseyArts.com - published 2024-11-14

The actress playing the very first Peter Pan, Nina Boucicault, stepped forth on opening night and asked this audience of sophisticated London gentry to clap hands if they believed in fairies, and the applause was deafening. She burst into tears." As did John Pielmeier and I as he recounted this tale of the first production of J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" in London, England.
