Out producers
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have set up a musical revival of
Peter Pan for ABC. The remake comes 50 years
after NBC broadcast the first live television version,
starring Mary Martin. Zadan and Meron are
currently in Toronto producing Hairspray for New Line
and plan to have the project completed for broadcast
toward the end of 2007.
Zadan and
Meron have wanted to do Peter Pan since
1993, when they worked with Pan composer Jule
Styne on their TV version of Gypsy, reports Daily
Variety. Zadan said, "It is not unlike what we're
doing for Hairspray. We're not taking the shows
verbatim and putting them on film. We're reinventing
them while honoring the basic material" (The
