The comedy is inspired by the Disney novel of the same title.
Rick Elice's Peter and the Starcatcher will play Boston's Lyric Stage Company from May 20-June 26. Opening night is set for May 22.
The play, based on the Disney-Hyperion novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, tells the tale of an orphan who heads to a faraway land, where he finds love, friendship, and, ultimately, himself. The work features music by Wayne Barker.
Directed by Spiro Veloudos, this production will star Margaret Ann Brady, Ed Hoopman, Margarita Martinez, Will McGarrahan, Mark Pierre, Robert Saoud, Tyler Simahk, Alejandro Simoes, Damon Singletary, Matt Spano, Erica Spyres, and Dale J. Young.
The creative team includes Ilyse Robbins (choreography and musical staging), Catherine Stornetta (musical director), Janie E. Howland (scenic design), Elisabetta Polito (costume design), and Frank Meissner Jr. (lighting design).
