Cathy Rigby Flying High Again as "Peter Pan"

You can't keep a good performer down, as Cathy Rigby proves, as she flies out of retirement and back on stage in a touring show of the classic musical Peter Pan.

You can read a good story about the stage revival right here at Playbill's site. Here's an excerpt:

Sneering pirates, starchy parents, percussive Indians, lost boys and three British siblings begin singing and dancing today with the launch of a new national tour of Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby as the boy who wouldn't grow up. The Hershey Theater in Hershey, PA, is the first stop on the tour, which continues into 2012.

In addition to limber actress and former Olympic gymnast Rigby, who recreates her Tony Award-nominated turn as J.M. Barrie's famed boy, the cast features Broadway stars Tom Hewitt as Capt. Hook/Mr. Darling and Kim Crosby as Mrs. Darling.

It looks like the closest pass to us this year will be at the Lexington Opera House Sept. 23-25, but there are more dates in the works for 2012.

I've always heard raves about Rigby's performance, so hopefully we'll get a chance to catch the show!
