Creative, clever and funny as hell are the perfect description of PETER, WHO?, a hilarious parody of the infamous Spiderman. The book and lyrics by Justin Moran and Jon Roufaeal tell the story of nerdy Peter Parker (Travis Nilan) who is bitten by a radioactive spider and suddenly develops superhuman powers. Against comic-strip background projections, using minimal props, a superbly talented cast work hard to portray this action-packed adventure set to innovative music by Doug Katsaros and Adam Podd. And the whole thing works magnificently. Sophisticated humor peppered with sarcasm joins a bit of slapstick and raucous choreography, and a fantastic time is had by all. PETER, WHO? Is a perfect example of the first-rate quality that we have come to expect from the New York Musical Festival.
