“Harris floats through the air, not swinging back and forth as we have seen in recent Pan’s, but seemingly in control of some conjured updraft as she prowls above the nursery, pausing in flight, then settling at will like some predatory bird”

“Wonderful innovation and deft touches of comedy and invention. These include a quite brilliant first. “Shadow Dancing” staged by Mike Margolis and choreographed by Irving Davies, in which we see Pan actually dance with his own shadow, brilliantly manipulated around the stage by Harris who puppeteers a second self. It is entertainment of the highest order, greeted with intakes of breath and squeals of delight from children”
“Harris is in astonishing voice and clearly relishes performing the new Scores. Irving Davies’ explosive choreography opens Act II with “The Dance of Life” This is Broadway sharp dance style with Harris leading the Redskins in an electrifying tribal dance.

“… Harris’s effortless command and creation that we will rightly remember
for years to come as “the definitive Peter Pan”
