“John, wake up! There is a boy here who is to teach us to fly!” With no green tights in sight, this wild and unlikely PETER PAN lands on the New Victory stage with a dream ensemble via the brilliant imagination of Sydney’s Belvoir (The Book of Everything, New Vic 2012). Aided by a bit of fairy dust, stage magic and lots of happy thoughts, the Darlings explore J.M. Barrie’s Neverland as their bedroom becomes a lagoon full of mermaids, a pirate ship at sea and a cove overrun with lost boys. Under the spell of infectious make-believing, audiences are sure to un-grow up and fly along with them: second star to the right and straight on till morning!

Home-grown hoofers from Minneapolis hit the road with a trunk full of tap shoes, funky costumes and a big brass band, ready to burst onto the NEW VICTORY stage with FEET DON’T FAIL ME NOW. “Heatbox,” the human beatbox, joins the swingin’ seven-piece Root City rockers to accompany each tap, shuffle and stomp with a clang, riff and refrain. It’s easy to see why this troupe was a 2012 winner of an Edinburgh Festival “Spirit of the Fringe” Award. In this joyous parade of genre-hopping music and hard-hitting percussive dance, you’ll be jumping out of your seat and moving to the beat!

Mama says “breathe easy,” but Ziggy’s afraid to leave the house. He’s too busy worrying about tropical storms, evil spirits and steering clear of that sneaky, hair-snatching Duppy! But with the help of Dr. Bird and his feathered friends, Ziggy’s reminded in soothing six-part harmony that “every little thing gonna be all right.” A jammin’ musical featuring the timeless music and lyrics of Bob Marley and based on the children’s book by his daughter Cedella, BOB MARLEY’S THREE LITTLE BIRDS shares the legendary reggae artist’s message of peace and love with a new generation of songbirds.

New York’s Fiasco Theater sheds new light on one of Shakespeare’s darkest comedies with live music and moxie. When the Duke of Vienna disguises himself as a friar among his people, he finds the city unraveling in an ethical free fall. Before he reclaims his dukedom, can he help the chaste Isabella save her brother from the condemnation of the villain Angelo? Last seen on the New Vic stage with their acclaimed production of Cymbeline, Fiasco’s creative and collaborative ensemble will once again color complex characters and illuminate perplexing plots to tell this singular tale of morality and manipulation in MEASURE FOR MEASURE.

Welcome to the mad, mod world of the Ginghams, a trio who travels to bring long-lost misfit toys into their home. Fluff was dropped under the couch, Squibbly was abandoned in the gutter and Disco Frog was caught in a ceiling fan. But don’t fret, dear pet! With a comedic, quirky and colorful mix of sound, story, video and vacuum, toys get discovered and recovered by the plaid-patterned family. Ab Fab meets Pee Wee’s Playhouse meets Grey Gardens for offbeat, off-the-wall, fantastically funny FLUFF.

SONGS FROM ABOVE

Take off your coat, slip off your shoes and enter a magical tent strewn with stars. In SONGS FROM ABOVE (NEW VICTORY Danish Festival, 2007), artist Mette Rosleff uses charming puppetry and object animation to reveal gentle moments of innocent discovery: the joy of splashing through puddles, running barefoot on the summer grass, being tucked into bed at night. Hidden within celestial shapes, each tiny treasure elicits wide-eyed wonder in this sweet reverie of life’s simplest pleasures.
