[TV Show News] ‘Girls’ Star Allison Williams Cast as Peter Pan in NBC Musical
Girls co-star Allison Williams has just landed the main role of Peter Pan in NBC's musical Peter Pan Live!
Williams joins the previously cast Christopher Walken as Captain Hook which intrigued me, I want to see Christopher Walken sing and chase after Peter Pan.
Since graduating from Yale University in 2010, Williams — who reunites with her father, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, on the same network — has starred as Marnie Michaels on the Emmy-nominated Girls, where she’s exercised her musical pipes. She recorded several songs for the Girls soundtrack and filmed online videos that have garnered millions of views. Williams also appeared on The Mindy Project and The League.
“I have wanted to play Peter Pan since I was about three years old, so this is a dream come true,” said Williams. “It’s such an honor to be a part of this adventure, and I’m very excited to get to work with this extraordinarily talented team. And besides,” added Williams, “what could go wrong in a live televised production with simultaneous flying, sword fighting and singing?”
NBC’s Peter Pan Live! will broadcast December 4, 2015.
