I just bought the Peter Pan 1960 DVD with Mary Martin
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...s=dvd&n=507846 which says "Mastered from the live 1960 broadcast on NBC" so well see if the NBC opening/closing is on there.
Trivia about Peter Pan:
During its Broadway run in 1954, arrangements were made to present the Mary Martin "Peter Pan" on television. After a limited run onstage, it was televised live in 1955 with the entire original cast. It created a sensation, becoming one of the highest-rated shows up to that time, and spawning a series of televised musical children's stories, none as successful as this one. It was re-staged live with the same cast only a few months later. In 1960 it was finally videotaped, with virtually the same cast (except for the children) and this time at its full-length. It is one of the first instances in which a Broadway stage production has been duplicated exactly for television.
Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard recreate their Tony Award winning performances in this production.
