Peter and the Starcatcher is a prologue to the famous story of Peter Pan.

Peter and the Starcatcher won five Tony Awards and eight Lucille Nortel, Drama Desk, Tina, Obie and Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards.
The play provides a backstory for the characters of Peter Pan, Mrs. Darling, Tinker Bell, and Hook, and serves as a prequel to J.M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy. It's a magic-filled adventure featuring Peter, Molly Aster, and the Lost Boys, who battle evil pirate Black Stache, in their journey to keep their treasure safe and save the world!
