Peter Pan Mary Martin Cyril Ritchard DVD TV (1955)
Original 1955 Broadcast Starring Mary Martin and the The Broadway Cast Which is Most Highly Rated Television show during the 1950s 2 Hours
The live television production (preserved on kinescope) of the first broadcast of the musical Peter Pan was a popular melding of American television and Broadway theater, first broadcast on NBC in March 1955 and repeated annual for many years thereafter. It formed part of an ongoing series titled Producers' Showcase, a loose rubric for high-quality dramatic presentations put together by producer Fred Coe for the network about once a month between 1954 and 1957. The impetus for the telecast was the popular Broadway musical Peter Pan, starring Mary Martin in the title role and co-starring Cyril Ritchard as Pan's nemesis Captain Hook. Based on the 1904 J.M. Barrie play of the same name, the Broadway production was staged by Jerome Robbins. When it ended its theatrical run, Coe arranged to run a version of it, modified for the small screen, on NBC on March 5, 1955.
