re: Peter Pan Live! (2014) (TV) w/ a female as Peter Pan

I'm only 29, but this thread makes me feel old. I loved the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan as a kid. Seems like they used to play it often cause I remember watching it quite a few times. And like others have said, Peter Pan was basically always played by a woman. I think the Disney movie was the first time he was obviously a boy. Since this is a 100 year old tradition, I don't really see what the problem is.
