“Peter Pan”

Citizens Opera House, Broadway in Boston

A new twist on an old classic, this version of “Peter Pan” hasn’t grown up but the material has. The cruel and cliched depictions of Native peoples and women have been removed thanks to a book update by Sicangu Lakota Nation member and 2020 MacArthur Fellow Larissa FastHorse. What remains is the humor, heart, story, songs, and magic. Director Lonny Price says the new tweak is the perfect gateway to theater for young people. “Part of why I wanted to do this is that it will be kids’ first experience in the theater, and I want them not only to fall in love with ‘Peter Pan,’ ” he told the Associated Press, “but to fall in love with the theater and to come back.” Starts Jan. 21, boston.broadway.com
