Captain Hook

Addison as Captain Hook, Mickey Larsen as Peter Pan

 Addison just finished his run as Captain Hook up in Ogden.  This is the third time he's been in this show, first a lost boy, then a pirate and now Captain Hook.  All three times he's been directed by Jim Christian and twice he's had Mickey Larsen as Peter Pan. 

 Addison was truly Brilliant in this role.  He played it with fun and playfulness and then he would turn on a dime and be villainous and evil.  He made us laugh and boo.  His voice was lush and was THE best captain hook I have ever seen...and I've seen a lot....and it's not just cuz I'm his mother. 

 Addison got applause every time he just entered the stage because the audience knew something fun was going to happen.    The Mysterious Lady song is usually a snoozer and is awkward and the audience is left wondering why this is part of the show. Not this time.  It was delightfully silly and Addison's faces really helped it move along.  SO. Much. FUN!

I love seeing Addison play all of his different parts, but this one let his true, silly, genuinely fun personality shine through plus showed off his dancing and singing talents and how he can command the stage.
