I sat through Gumpy Cat's worst christmas ever, I can sit through 3 hours of crap to watch Christopher Walken to be a big ham live for 15 minutes.

The pound of makeup she's wearing doesn't help. She's much more expressive on Girls.

It's way underlit, probably because it's a night scene and also because it helps hide the wires. Kinda. Not really.

Well if there's one thing I would always be willing to forgive in any Peter Pan production it's visible wires.

The lighting is very demure. I'm watching HD OTA.

I really hope that's not the reason, literally everyone watching Peter Pan on stage is fine with wires, but NBC does strike me as thinking they could finally 'do it right'

Yeah, boring is a good word. Also, is it just me or is the music too loud? At least in comparison to the voices.

Like, I get that there's no amount of CG in the world that can hide the wires, but loving lean into the practical if that's the case. Don't mix the signals with CG pixie dust and a soulless fairy that's flat over the feed. Go tactile or go home!
