Last Wednesday, Rachael and I made a trip to the city to see Peter Pan. Peter Pan has been playing at Chicago Tribune Freedom Center North, 360 Theatre and it is in the final days of performances.
I had mentioned to Rachael that I wanted to go, and a day later she got an email from TravelZoo for 1/2 price tickets. Turns out in the end with tax we saw an amazing production for 50 dollars.
First we had lunch at Snarfs. Highly recommended. Tastes just like Pot Belly |

As a kid I used to love when the play came on TV with Mary Martin. I just thought it was so cool that she could fly. I bet if I watched it today it would be extremely corny.
The theatre was built for this play and is actually going to stay intact for others. The stage is in the middle and the audience sits around it. The actors fly and do flips and with the help of technology you feel like you are flying too. My absolute favorite scene was with Tinker Bell, Peter, Michael, Wendy, and John holding hands and flying high above the audience. It was so classic and so fun.
.Me and Rachael in the last row. It was fun being in Neverland even for just a couple hours. |
