13 Questions We Have After Watching NBC's Peter Pan Live!

It's an annual tradition two whole years strong: NBC pulls out some of the stops and puts together a live singalong stage production of a popular musical for all of the internet to snark at. Last year, it was Nazis versus Carrie Underwood and that guy from True Blood in a live production of The Sound of Music. This year, Allison Williams put on the wig and green leather leggings of the boy who never wanted to grow up and Christopher Walken cut off his hand to play Captain Hook in Peter Pan Live!.

Those who tuned in seeking a spectacle were not disappointed! There were technicolor crocodiles; prosthetic hook-limb fistbumps; very, very old "boys"; and ads for a lil' mom-and-pop store called Wal-Mart. However, for as complete and fulfilling as Peter Pan Live! was, we couldn't help but ponder a few questions that stuck in our craw. Here are the 13 biggest head-scratchers we're still left with...


1. How does Human Resources feel about Christopher Walken slapping Allison Williams' ass?

"Many lives (and careers) have been lost here." —Allison Williams, Peter Pan Live! (via)


2. How is it that the Lost Boys were dressed by Lacoste and the pirates got stuck with H&M?


3. Why wasn't there more cowbell?



4. Is Tony Award-winner Christian Borle, who played Mr. Darling and Smee, that strapped for cash?

We're expecting his Nashville casting announcement any day now.


5. Has Nana the dog always been the unsung hero of Peter Pan, and we only just now noticed?


6. What was going on with Christian Borle's arms?

Photos don't do them justice; they were simultaneously attractive and grotesque and it was horribly distracting.


7. Was Tinker Bell always this bitchy?

No seriously, it's is a real question.


8. Who thought giving a tambourine to a man with a hook for a hand was a good idea?

(via)


9. Is Wendy a Shoshana, or what?

Tink is totally a Marnie and you know it.


10. What did Rebel Wilson think of the poorly synchronized mermaid dancing?


11. Was Peter Pan Live! more uncomfortable to watch than that time Marnie sang Kanye West on Girls?

Allison Williams can sing much better than Marnie can sing, but embarrassment is limitless.


12. Did you actually follow NBC's advice and Shazam the songs so you could sing along?

No judgement. (But kinda.)


13. How does this make you feel?


Did you watch Peter Pan Live!? If so, what did you think?
