Should Allison Williams Take Pan to the Stage After NBC Telecast?! Sandy Duncan & Cathy Rigby Vote ‘Yes’

Three generations of Peter Pans stopped by The Today Show on October 30 to chat with Matt Lauer about what it takes to become the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. So why has this character been traditionally played by women since 1904? The three discuss casting their femininity aside for something more androgynous and non-sexual. “It’s what I’ve been going for for the last couple of weeks,” says Williams, who will take flight in the live NBC telecast on December 4. She’s fortunate to have the guidance of two women of Peter Pan past: Sandy Duncan and Cathy Rigby. The two encouraged Williams to embrace the role past the live broadcast and take Peter to the stage. The Girls star gave the nod of approval, saying she would, “if NBC would kindly invite me into a theatre to do it.” Make that happen! Duncan and Rigby will produce.
