The former Olympian is playing her signature role again in a tour that will stop at the Pantages Theatre this month.
Cathy Rigby flies across the Pantages Theatre stage from Jan. 15 through 27 in J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan," reprising her signature role, which earned her a 1991 Tony nomination. At age 60, the San Diego native still fits into the costume she wore for her 1974 debut as the boy who never grows up; theater producers had recruited her to parlay her fame as an Olympic gymnast into box-office gold.
Rigby lives in La Habra Heights with her husband, Tom McCoy, who is also her partner in their theatrical production company, McCoy Rigby Entertainment, which produced her latest "Peter Pan" tour as well as productions of other American musicals.
You said farewell in your 2005 "Peter Pan" tour. So what inspired this one?
I missed it. Some regional theaters had asked me to do it again, and I thought, "If I can do the show on a last tour again, only do it better ... if I can bring something new to the role, then I ..." just because I missed it and I loved it. So I did, and we started out about 15 months ago and it has probably been one of the most amazing tours so far. Plus the show itself is, I think, just much better.
