After last year's huge ratings success for Sound of Music Live!, NBC is staging a live production of Peter Pan this December, much like the network did with Mary Martin in 1955, 1956, 1963, 1966 and 1973.The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Christopher Walken will play Captain Hook in the live musical. No word as to whether Walken will also be playing Mr. Darling as in most stage productions of the musical.The network has not yet found its Peter Pan, but NBC has confirmed that the title role will be played by an adult female rather than an adolescent male. Kristin Bell was in early talks, but her shooting schedule for Showtime's "House of Lies" meant that she just wouldn't be available.
