Peter Pan - Indians - Sondra Lee - 1955 

Oh my God. I Love this so much. It's so original. and so Raw. amazing. I absolutely wish I had the priviledge of seeing this on Broadway with the original cast. Sondra Lee is so talented. Fabulous.

Interesting that many of the Orchestral accents aren't in this early version but exist in the '56 and '60 telecast.

I played Tootles when I was younger. They changed how they grabbed me because the directer was worried they were going to pull my joints out of place haha.

I've always enjoyed both versions (55 & 60). I have never seen anything to say a bad word about the 1960 version. The 1960 Mary Martin "intro" is a show stopper. It may be the most famous intro of all-time. Thanks for the video "kinescope".

The amazing " live " 1955 version . No retakes, technical challenges with plenty of children in the cast . What pressure in a one take situation greater than a nightly Broadway show . This live production featured the now veteran but then young Kathy Nolan as Wendy and Heller Halliday AKA Larry Hagman's little sister as Liza supporting her mother . Heller did not pursue acting like her mother or half brother , her position in this role must have been a vanity to Miss Martin . Heller is still living a quiet life as of Nov 2022.

Wish you'd upload some of Cyril Richard from this version. Were there any scenes in the '55broadcast that did NOT appear in the '60 version? Martin has terrific stories to tell about doing this show in her autobiography "My Heart Belongs".

They're so much fresher than they are in the filmed 1960 version.

Can’t help but notice the starting part of the show/dance seems totally like Michael Jackson’s thriller routine. So it seems MJ probably seen this too

I'd love to see this version of Peter Pan in its entirety. Any chance of uploading all of it?

I like how in the 1960 version when Tiger Lily yells run, her eyes go cross eyed for a bit.

Thanks for this post! I've never seen the '55 version and I'm very curious, as people who have seen more than the '60 version tend to loathe it. Do you have any more clips?

That was a great dance. Please do it in color.

Any sequence you wish to post that has close-ups of Cyril's face. His facial expressions are devastatingly funny. Probably a dialogue scene would be best for this. Thanks so very much!

how come there's no audience reactions?

Ugg a Wugg!

Dear rodanvideo, Could you please record full videos like Peter Pan with Mary Martin in 1955 and Peter Pan with Mary Martin in 1956 from the TV series Producers' Showcase before you upload them on your channel coming soon? Sincerely, Sam Gross.

Why did this scare the shit out of me when I was a little kid hahaha I must’ve been such a baby

...still no Cyril Richard from '55. (sigh) Greatly enjoy Rodanvideo's commentaries...he calls the '60 version arthritic. Can't imagine how scathing his view might be of the entire Sandy Duncan version now posted in it's entirity. Nothing against Miss Duncan, however, we love her.

upload the cyril ritchard (capt. Hook) videos of this version!!!!

Quite outdated, but yeah, it was 1955

that's scary af

I'm not even Native and I agree... Blonde Caucasian Female, sounds to me But true, great song and dance number :)

Shh! Makin’ too much noise! Listen to Tiger Lily Foofa. When on your path, shh! MLP Indians: Shh!

In one of my classes at school we are learning a modified version of this dance
