About A Boy’s Minnie Driver has just been cast in the NBC musical Peter Pan Live. She will be playing the adult Wendy Darling in the live staging of the musical.
“We’re thrilled to have Minnie as part of this ‘Peter Pan’ adventure,” said Robert Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman. “She appears in the final emotional scene when Peter returns to the Darling home years later only to realize Wendy is now grown up and has a daughter of her own, but you’ll also hear her voice throughout the movie since Adult Wendy is also our narrator. She’s a classy addition to our wonderful cast.”
Produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, and starring Christopher Walken as Hook and Allison Williams as Peter Pan, Peter Pan Live will air on NBC at 8 PM December 4th. NBC will also air a Behind the Scenes special on November 26th at 9 PM.
