"Peter Pan" Crew Profile: Justin Slack


GCP's "Peter Pan" opens tonight to a sold-out audience! Vocal Director Justin Slack, who is also the keyboardist and the "voice" of Tinker Bell, shares his thoughts on the show.

GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows at GCP.
JS: I was the vocal director for "Oliver!," "Jane Eyre" and the Golden Apples Chorus, and the keyboardist for "Pippin."

GCP Girl: What is your favorite fairy tale or children's story and why?
JS: Peter Pan- The story is magical, the characters are unique and the themes are universal and timeless.

GCP Girl: What is your favorite part of the "Peter Pan" story?
JS: When Peter discovers Wendy has grown up.

GCP Girl: Why do you think "Peter Pan" is performed so often around the world?
JS: See my answer to No. 3. (GCP Girl: Isn't he communicative?)

GCP Girl: Tell me something about yourself you would like everyone to know!
JS: I love receiving gift certificates to Express.

GCP Girl: What do you hope audiences take away from "Peter Pan"?
JS: A desire to tell their friends to come and see the show.

GCP Girl: What was/is your vision for bringing this show to life?
JS: To do what I can to make the actors feel comfortable musically so that they can perform to the best of their abilities, and to help Erin bring to life her vision for the show.

Thanks, Justin! We can't wait to see your Tinker Bell costume! ;-) For those who have tickets tonight, have a fabulous time! The cast and crew have worked very hard and the show is a lot of fun!
