"Peter Pan" has been setting excellent reviews At first skeptical about a former Olympic gymnast treading on Mary Martin's holy ground the Boston Globe's critic ended up gushing: "She can speak the Parrie lines and mean them Rigby dances well (and) she sings i wonderfully with precision with range with style" In Cleveland Ms Rigby drew praise from the Akron Beacon- journal's critic: "Sure Miss Rig13t flies beautifully probably bet ter and more daringly than any- one before her More importantly ifie is a solid musical comedy performer" Word-of-critic has increased demand for the show "We're going to be on the road until about a year from this April" Ms Rigby said but there's one unpublished review of which Ms I Rigby is especially proud It came from her 4-year-old daughter "When I grow up Mom my" she said "I want to be a boy just like you" This must be some convincing portrayal The show does seem to work Ms Rigby allows After a performance she said "sometimes meet with the kids and give them a little bit of the fairy dust which is heavy-duty glitter and I have to warn them not to jump off anything" Sometimes the performance is more convincing than the warning though Ms Rigby heard from one mother who -complained good-naturedly that her child had chosen a particular part of the house as a launch pad and there was "fairy dust all over the bathroom floor' With four children of her own Ms Rigby can relate to that She and her husband producer Tom McCoy are the parents of Bucky 14: Ryan 9 Theresa 7 and the aforementioned Kaitlin All four youngsters are traveling with Films
