Join the MusicalTalk Pirate Crew: Thos, Nick and Andrew as they discuss the many musicals of Peter Pan. En route to Never Land, with special guests George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, this episode promises to be a rip roaring and soaring adventure.

Currently listening to the episode, and just wanted to point out that Jack Noseworthy was actually the understudy to Charlote D'Ambroise as Peter Pan in Jerome Robbins' Broadway, not the main performer of the role.
Thanks,
Sondheimfan.

Good point - but isn't it wonderful that someone with the entirely splendid surname, Noseworthy, can get so far. I hope it is a real name rather than a stage one.

Happy new year

Thos

"To the ship"

Incidentally, here are the complete lyrics for Never Smile At A Crocodile. Many of the sites that state that they are giving the words for this song get them wrong. Most of them repeat the line "Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day" instead of the new line of "Don't be rude, never mock, throw a kiss, not a rock" at the end which is far wittier.

It is best to read these to yourself with a clock ticking in your head.

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place to forget etiquette
For instance:
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Don't be rude, never mock,
Throw a kiss, not a rock,
Clear the aisle and never smile at Mister Crocodile.
