The Shows Must Go On: Peter Pan Live starring Christopher Walken and Allison Williams to be streamed online for free

Peter Pan Live starring Christopher Walken and Allison Williams will be the next musical to stream online.

The filmed version, with Williams as Peter and Walken as Captain Hook, will be available for the whole weekend for UK audiences on YouTube channel The Shows Must Go On.

It follows six of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals and live television productions of The Sound of Music, Hairspray and The Wiz.

Peter Pan Live will be available to watch from Friday June 19 at 7pm for 48 hours.

The 2014 version of the 1954 musical was originally broadcast live on television, with Minnie Driver as the narrator.

Previous musicals have included Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson and Martin Short appearing in a star-studded live version of Hairspray from 2016, and last week's stream of The Wiz with Queen Latifah and Mary J Blige.

Before this, Lloyd Webber shared a series of six musicals including the Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Love Never Dies, By Jeeves and Cats. The composer said the streams had raised well over half a million dollars for acting charities.
