Women have largely embodied the title role of Peter Pan onstage since the Edwardian era. Music Theater Works in Evanston continues that tradition by staging a revival of the most popular Broadway musical version of Peter Pan from 1954 (which originally starred Mary Martin). Music Theater Works’ Peter Pan plays nine performances between Saturday, Dec. 23, through Monday, Jan. 1, at Northwestern University’s Cahn Auditorium, 600 Emerson St., Evanston. Tickets are $34-$96, with a half-price discount for youth ages 25 and younger; call 847-920-5360 or visit MusicTheaterWorks.com.
