Spanish Fly?

While looking for information on Bernstein’s music for Peter Pan, I once again came across this review. It’s not of Bernstein’s. It’s for Peter Pan: El Musical. I shouldn’t be making light of the plight of those who suffered by this review. But good gravy! It's "so" worth reading. For a story about believing it is, well, unbelievable. Not often are such biting words seen. And though I’m not all that fond of the famous fairy myself, you’ll find what I’ll call an incredible anecdote about her. By the way, you’ll be hard pressed to find a good review of this production.




Here’s the opening statement:
