Launched by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the weekly programme of musicals being made available for free streaming on YouTube continues this Friday. And it’s been announced that this week’s show is to be a production of Peter Pan.

Peter Pan Live stars Allison Williams in the title role, with Christopher Walken as Captain Hook and Taylor Louderman as Wendy. It’ll go live on YouTube from 7pm this Friday, where it’ll be made available for 48 hours.

UPDATE: The decision has been made to postpone this week’s show. The Shows Must Go On team has posted that “We will no longer be going ahead with this weekend’s show. We stand with our Black employees, colleagues, partners and creators in outrage at acts of Racism. Black Lives Matter.”

We suspect it’ll now be scheduled for next week.
