Because civic theatres can never find enough men or boys the right age. Boys are taught that theatre and singing are for girls. Football and other sportsball are the only activities suitable for boys. :::eye roll::: I teach theatre. Nothing could be further from the truth!
It makes me so sad that no other theatres used the version with Lise and her songs!! Peters gender doesn’t even matter because he’s like a sibling to them, not a father figure. At least in the musical, he’s lises husband/fiancé before she dies. So Petra could just be her gf or bestie or something, but definitely more sibling than father lol
The girl is so rude her mom couldn’t get any good shoes (Ik it’s her character but still) and when WWll was happening it was so hard to find good things
@@laineyscqrner Yes, you are right. However, in my opinion, Peter had a specific personality and specific qualities that didn't match Petra's. In the book, he was masculine and almost like a second father to the girls. No hate! I'm sure they put plenty of work into this play and I regret saying it was ruined because it wasn't.

@@healinggrounds19 ohh I was wondering why Peter was Petra
I read the whole book with my whole class and teacher it was for reading and writing from my school
Right now I’m reading this in my book club at school and I really need some spoilers
Annemarie and Kristi are supposed to have blond hair not black and brown hair
True!
It’s hard to find two blonde people that showed up
Mia Jimenez I know

Why did they make Peter a girl? It just ruins it!
megsoneal I think it’s ok.
Any if anything it is hard to get EVERYTHING PERFECT.
Petra is a whole different character my teacher says

They cast a boy to play Peter but he quit so they changed it to petra
Not the real one is peter a boy not Petra a girl
