Cathy Rigby to Fly into Madison Square Garden in Peter Pan

Cathy Rigby is coming back to Gotham as the title character in Peter Pan yet again, but this time there won't be any fairy dust sprinkled on the Great White Way. The family-friendly tuner will begin a limited engagement at Madison Square Garden shortly after Thanksgiving, according to a production source.

Rigby first appeared on Broadway in Peter Pan in 1990, in a production that ran from December 13, 1990 to January 20, 1991. She received a 1991 Tony Award nomination for her work in the tuner. The show returned for holiday engagements in 1991 and 1998 and then for a longer run from April 7, 1999 to August 29, 1999. In 1999 it received a Tony Award nomination for Best Revival of a Musical. In September of last year, Rigby began touring the country in a revival of Peter Pan with Howard McGillin as Captain Hook that was said in promotional materials to be "bound for Broadway." The tour, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the classic tale, is currently in Dallas and has dates scheduled throughout the summer. All of these productions of Peter Pan have been produced by McCoy Rigby Entertainment, which Rigby runs with her husband Tom McCoy.

Based on the play by James M. Barrie, the musical Peter Pan features music by Moose Charlap and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh with additional music by Jule Styne and additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
