okay.... here's my story....
I never watched that live Sound of Music thing, but I was aware that
BriWi's daughter got the role of Peter Pan.
So tonight I'm in a hotel with my son and his friend (age 16), and I'm
flipping thru the channels.  We hit Peter Pan.   I pause for a few seconds
to see.

teen: what the heck is that?
me: a live musical broadcast of Peter pan.
teen: very colourful.  interesting.
me: yeah it seems well shot.
[we watch for another minute]
teen:  but why is Peter a girl?
me: casting.  [Peter runs/dances away from the camera]
teen: that's messed up.   Its like Peter is a guy questioning his
sexuality, or a lesbian questioning her sexuality.

we changed the channel.  Settled on football.

TL;DR - Didn't buy the girl playing the role of Peter.
