Did you see Jean Arthur? I know Boris Karloff was Captain Hook in that production. I would love to have seen that being a fan of both Karloff and Arthur.

Dorothy stop that, Mr. Ha Ha`s lookin at you!!

People, ANYBODY who thinks Rigby is better is just trolling. Nobody, but nobody can have so little taste and still exist in this world. At least I HOPE not.

Both Cathy Rigby, and especially Sandy Duncan sucked out loud in this role. Mary Martin is the ONLY Peter Pan.

I think you must be about nine years old. What else would explain all the caps and !!!!!!!!!!!! and the stupid emotion and energy put behind such a trifling distinction. Just enjoy (or not) and shut up already.

Cathy Rigby is amazing in this role and her flying sequences are the best I've seen I love her "look" and her boyishness but I don't care for the accent she assumes as it sounds somehow contrived. By comparison, Martin adopts a playful sound which, actually, she's used for other characters too. It's funny and charming. Her singing, however, is on another level. Rigby is excellent but Martin has a lilt to her phrasing, a sweetness of tone and a special ring to her belting that I can't resist...plus, I love her "theatah" diction. Martin is from Texas but, like many actors of her generation, trained to eliminate a regional sound (Now one could say this is contrived) and could flip in and out of a proper sound (She was considered for My Fair Lady). It's a matter of preference.

Not to mention, Martin is Just too mature for the role. She makes him more of a childlike adult instead of an actual child. And Cathy Rigby is both funny and tragic as he's written

I love you, Kristen Stewart. :) You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.

I like them both, but in my opinion, Mary Martin's a better singer and Cathy Rigby's a better actress.
