He was definitely being sarcastic. Everyone knows that children and animals are hard to work with, and I don't imagine that Christopher Walken is any easier.
A LOT. lol. This was, by FAR, the WORST version of the Peter Pan musical I have EVER SEEN in my 35 years. And I have seen a lot of versions of Peter Pan. Christopher Walken was the WORST Hook. He looked like he had guzzled a gallon bottle of Nyquil before every single scene and he just stumbled through his performance. He wasn't charming. He wasn't devious. He was just BORING. And I HATED that they broke tradition and did NOT double-cast Mr. Darling and Hook like they have done in EVERY OTHER VERSION of Peter Pan. Allison Williams was also the WORST Peter Pan. There was no effervescent cockiness. There was no child-like spirit. Again, she was just rushing through the lines for a paycheck. This meant NOTHING to her. The scene where she's supposed to be pleading with the children of the world to save Tink was the worst. At least in the Cathy Rigby version, when she does this same scene, the audience is so inspired that they clap without being prompted to. Honestly, the only good acting came from Mrs. Darling who is only onscreen for a couple of minutes. lol
Well, Christopher Walken isn't that good maybe but, Allison Williams is good and she's always wanted to play Peter. But, as that man said: "The Christopher Walken way of playing Hook, IS the Christopher Walken way of playing Hook!!"
+RooMcGoo I thought Kelli was good too and she has one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. I already saw her in the Lincoln Center broadcasting of South Pacific 5 years ago. When she was casted, I immediately decided to give Peter Pan a try last year.
you guys did an amazing job i watch it all the time ive lost weight from watching this by walking on the tredmill i cxant believe how good it is. i realy can put it into words sorry about my typing typing in the dark.
+Jacob Bush It was originally a British play :/ the play should of been acted out by British people or a fake british accent at least it's not that hard.
Never, EVER seen Sound of Music or Peter Pan! I have seen parts of Peter Pan but, not Sound of Music! I've seen the Sound of Music poster and is the woman playing Mrs. Darling in it?!
Ok that was very informative! Am I in a minority who actually enjoyed the performance last December? Don't get me wrong I did like it but of course it wasn't perfect. The cast was really good despite that miscasting of Christopher Walken as Captain Hook. The only song I knew before seeing the show I was I Won't Grow Up. The costuming and scene designs were beautiful. Ultimately, it was right on par with the Sound of Music Live and improved a little from it at the same time. I expect The Wiz Live to be spectacular next month. Good luck to NBC
+Bob Sewvello For Grease Live, the behind the scenes magic was given away during the broadcast. But I say let's keep it where it's revealed before the broadcast.
This is so amazing I would love to meet Allison in real life they are doing an amazing job and Taylor now plays Regina in Mean Girls and I love to meet her in person as well
I'm not the uploaded, but I don't think it can be uploaded for copyright. However it can be watched for free at nbc.com for a few weeks and then it will be released on dvd
The fact that i have no idea who christifer walken is and i came here for one of the newsies😅 Its the guy in the blue shirt at around 30:01 i think. His name is Chris McCarrell😊 34:14 hes here too(same shirt) He also has a video on tiktok where he talk about how he got cast and how terrible it went XD
John is so cute!!! He's only eight years old! And I love Taylor Louderman! And Bohdi is so cute as Nana! I loved Allison Williams' potrayal better than Cathy Rigby's.
Comparing Walken’s performance during the rehearsal, it’s strange that all his passion had just disappeared during the formal show. By reviewing these clips it feels like he should be an interesting guy, I don’t know why he appears so boring that night.
I honestly hated this version idk why I think I just didn't like the girl who played Peter Pan... But, my orchestra teachers sister played as a first cello in this and in the sound of music
I agree... Why a girl for the part??? And girl that's too OLD at that. I couldnt see her as the character.... Just as an over grown girl dressed in a peter pan suit at Halloween. lol. smh
***** Actually they made a woman play the role because men's voice is too deep. And they need high voices. If you look up Cathy Rigby and listen to her singing you'll see why it's good they choose women. Trust me I love Cathy Rigby's singing.
+horselover123417 maybe i like her voice but that still doesn't make it right.. a man/boy is Peter pan no matter of their pathetic voice. seriously.. what's next? a girl will play superman?
So this is where the Christian Borle arms thing came from... Okay...
Anyone else here for Christian Borle?
IM HERE FOR TAYLOR!
erin camp me
meee
Im here for chris mccarrell😅
"Well, we have swordfights, flying, children, dogs, and Christopher Walken. What could go wrong?"
He was definitely being sarcastic. Everyone knows that children and animals are hard to work with, and I don't imagine that Christopher Walken is any easier.
+Bill Volk If he was being sarcastic, I would have believed him.

Did the casting people just go see newsies and say "yes"
+Julie Maloney Based on Jake and some of the dancers, I say yes. But I actually never saw Newsies before
@Orion Jean Why thank you! Ive been into it since middle school
@Orion Jean Not counting school field trips my first musical was Wicked
@Orion Jean Cool
Honestly, I’ll just take this version of Peter Pan as a guilty pleasure.
i started tearing up when they got the part
I thought I was the only one!
What part?
i would be crying and rolling around on the floor screaming with joy if i got a part even as blade of grass number eight
Allison William's Peter reminds me of AVPM Draco Malfoy lol
no problem hahaha Same here.
Maplepancakee me
Lol fr 😂😂
Let's appreciate Christian hugging his coffee and his sleep deprived face at 1:03
1:17 Christian being attacked by a dog
13:41
“Christopher walken is so...interesting”😂😂😂
If Allison Williams asked me at 10 years old if I'd be interested in doing ANYTHING with her, you'd have to mop me off the floor.
Taylor is so pretty
He seems a lot better in rehearsal than he was in the performance.
Kelli was so amazing! Loved her, love the telecast. Loved getting to break it down on my vlog :-)
+RooMcGoo I thought Kelli was good too and she has one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. I already saw her in the Lincoln Center broadcasting of South Pacific 5 years ago. When she was casted, I immediately decided to give Peter Pan a try last year.
I LOVE Kelli in South Pacific. So gorgeous. I melt when she sings "Wonderful Guy" (or anything basically).
And I hope Lincoln Center keeps her when they decide to broadcast the King & I
I love Peter Pan live
YASSS OMG TAYLOR LOUDERMAN
you guys did an amazing job i watch it all the time ive lost weight from watching this by walking on the tredmill i cxant believe how good it is. i realy can put it into words sorry about my typing typing in the dark.
I HAVE. never, EVER seen this version of Peter Pan
I wish we got things like this in the UK.
+Jacob Bush It was originally a British play :/ the play should of been acted out by British people or a fake british accent at least it's not that hard.
we got sound of music live, which was brilliant, unfortunatley they haven't done any live musical since so idk
@@charchaz00 the sound of music live on ITV in December 2015
Never, EVER seen Sound of Music or Peter Pan! I have seen parts of Peter Pan but, not Sound of Music! I've seen the Sound of Music poster and is the woman playing Mrs. Darling in it?!

A actually think Captain Hook is a lot like Christopher Walken
The things I will watch for Christian Borle
Super psyched for this.
Nathan Forester, I've seen it, and it was Amazing, Awesome, Unbelievable.
+Nathan Forester Did you enjoy the show?
Manuel Orozco
Yup.
Nathan Forester I did too
Janie Doe I think it was amazing too. It was not great but worth it
The Mermaids needed more screen time.
10:31 For a second there I thought someone’s phone was going off.
Emmet from LBTM playing their father awesome :)
Christian Borle is known for much more than that
this is amazing
+Maya Hencsey I know the show was amazing
Maya Hencsey I love this show I watch it everyday
waiting to find somwhere to watch this in the UK !!
is this the behind-the-scenes special that was broadcast on November 26, 2014
Yez
+Maddalonefarms Yes it is
"I'm swinging..." I have a love/hate relationship with this production.
Taylor, Jake, Christopher, Christian is my favorite actors on broadway
I'm rather offended that they didn't show anything of the Lost Boys.
That was disappointing too especially when Jake Lucas (John) was reuniting with some of his Newsies co stars
They showed plenty of lost boys.
First as Wendy, and then as Regina George! Go Taylor
THIS IS SO WEIRD SEEING A DIFFERENT SIDE OF REGINA GEORGE!
I wonder if all of the behind-the-scenes magic should be given a way BEFORE the show is broadcast (or even after).
+Bob Sewvello For Grease Live, the behind the scenes magic was given away during the broadcast. But I say let's keep it where it's revealed before the broadcast.
Manuel Orozco How was it revealed during the broadcast?
Bob Sewvello It was done during commercial breaks.
Awesome
Great job you guys
He's a lot more fun in rehearsal than in that GODAWFUL!!!!!!! show.
Walken just has goofy dad energy in general, sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't.
I do like The Making of Peter Pan Live
Better than the actual show.
This is so amazing I would love to meet Allison in real life they are doing an amazing job and Taylor now plays Regina in Mean Girls and I love to meet her in person as well
Will you upload the actual show
I'm not the uploaded, but I don't think it can be uploaded for copyright. However it can be watched for free at nbc.com for a few weeks and then it will be released on dvd
At 7:57 I ligit said out loud Taylor laderman
Who's the Jason guy that designed Tinkerbell?
3:19 KATHERINE MCNAMARA!
Wow this was five years ago
Regina George is that you
I wonder how the other kids who didn't get the part felt
Probably went home and cried. Any one of us who have really wanted a part but didn't get it have done that.
14:28
My Newsies boys! Is there a more perfect connection?
3:19 is that Katherine McNamara?!?!?
Yes, it is! :) :))
Their faces lit up 😂
I don't think Chris is quite up for this. Maybe 20 years ago?
I agree. He had lost his enthusiasm by the time they did it live. Tired or sick? Maybe.
I have always wanted to play a character in Peter Pan movie but, I live in Scotland!! 😭
Well, I have played Smee in Peter Pan JR.
i cried when they got cast.
kat mcnamara @ 3:20 mY LOVE
Nowhere near the 2000 or 1970 version. So depressing.
can you put the wiz live on
+graham679 I don't if it's possible but I least would like to rewatch the making of the Wiz Live
Miley Cyrus would have made a great Peter Pan in this!
16:13 THE ICE. . . IS GONNA BRRREEAKKKK!!!
I think that Christopher Walken should be the next guest star of WWE RAW.
The fact that i have no idea who christifer walken is and i came here for one of the newsies😅
Its the guy in the blue shirt at around 30:01 i think. His name is Chris McCarrell😊
34:14 hes here too(same shirt)
He also has a video on tiktok where he talk about how he got cast and how terrible it went XD
I like Peter pan live is cool
John is so cute!!! He's only eight years old! And I love Taylor Louderman! And Bohdi is so cute as Nana! I loved Allison Williams' potrayal better than Cathy Rigby's.
Omg when I watched this I had a crush on peter and tiger lily
Anybody else spot Toby from This Is Us as one of Hook’s pirates?!
28:15 toby from this is us? XD
27:19 Toby is that you?!?
Comparing Walken’s performance during the rehearsal, it’s strange that all his passion had just disappeared during the formal show. By reviewing these clips it feels like he should be an interesting guy, I don’t know why he appears so boring that night.
Apparently he’d had a few drinks beforehand to “steady the nerves”, which probably wasn’t a good idea in hindsight.
5:12
Lol I'm in the same school as John allyn and he is almost in calm of my classes
9:10
Why aways get a Girl playing Peter Pan??
20 people grew up.
Could they not find a little boy to play pan???
Peter is typically played by a woman. The role was written for an adult. From Mary Martin to Cathy Rigby, Peters always a woman.
@@interestingmouse9961 Actually...the first actress to play Peter Pan was Maude Adams in the early 1900's.
Yo did anyone else see Arianne Reinhart in this?
"The Baryshnikov Arts Center." Does that not smack of Russian influence?
esse idioma eu nao entendo nada é muito dificil
I spy Michael Sink and I think I also spy Sawyer Nunes.

And downplay the Indians...
شمبغبغ
A woman as Peter Pan?
ok that's new
Actually Mary Martin played Peter Pan. Umm Cathy rigby played Peter Pan. And another woman played Peter Pan
+horselover123417 but that's sooooo wrong man!!!
we don't need a woman to play a boy role.
that's pathetic
***** Actually they made a woman play the role because men's voice is too deep. And they need high voices. If you look up Cathy Rigby and listen to her singing you'll see why it's good they choose women. Trust me I love Cathy Rigby's singing.
+horselover123417 maybe i like her voice but that still doesn't make it right..
a man/boy is Peter pan no matter of their pathetic voice. seriously..
what's next?
a girl will play superman?
well when it comes to singing women should be play the role. Movies I will accept boys/men playing the role.
*****
This was by far the worst live musical that's been done
