(Scottsdale, Ariz.) – Beginning January 13, Valley of the Sun audiences will experience Neverland in a whole new way with a spectacular innovative stage production of “Peter Pan” that combines intimate theater-in-the-round, overhead surround CGI video projections, actors in dazzling flying sequences forty feet in the air, and magical puppets that bring J.M. Barrie’s classic tale to fantastical life.

This remarkable production takes place in the one-of-a-kind Threesixty Theatre Tent, a state of the art 100-foot high structure that is part tent and part luxurious world-class theatre. Conceived by an award winning creative team, the beloved family tale will capture the imagination of adults and children alike.

“Peter Pan 360” is presented in the striking setting of the Threesixty Theatre Tent in partnership with the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. The 1,500-seat luxurious theater structure will be erected at The Pavilions at Talking Stick property at 9090 E. Indian Bend Road, just south of Salt River Fields. The show is performed up in the air, “in the round” and all around, creating a truly unique environmental theatrical experience. The entire interior is lit with over 15,000 square feet of Hi Resolution projection so that both cast and audience are immersed in a virtual Neverland. When Peter and Wendy fly to Neverland, audience members will feel the effect in the pit of their stomachs as they fly with the beloved characters over 200 square miles of virtual London and beyond.

This remarkable and beautiful production premiered in London’s Kensington Gardens, the original home of Peter Pan. Enjoyed by more than 1 million people throughout the UK and United States, PETER PAN 360, a story about The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, stays true to the original, created by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie. One night, Peter flies into the London nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael, teaches them to fly and leads them to the magical Neverland, “second to the right and straight on till morning,” where they live with Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys and meet the notorious Captain Hook.

The tale of PETER PAN has been adapted many times including the Walt Disney animated film, a Broadway musical and an Emmy Award winning TV special. However, it was not until this production, presented by Threesixty Entertainment, that PETER PAN 360 was performed in London’s Kensington Gardens, where Barrie was first inspired to create him and where the original statue of PETER PAN has stood since 1912.

Tickets for PETER PAN 360 in the Threesixty Theatre Tent, will be available to the general public beginning October 14.

Prices for weekday performances begin at $29.75 and weekends at $39.75.

Tickets are available for purchase online at PeterPan360.com, at any Ticketmaster location or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
