Allison Williams Talks Going Drag For Peter Pan

It's no wonder NBC gave Allison Williams the Peter Pan Live leading role without a traditional audition: she was made to play the part. Firstly, she's obsessed with the boy who won't grow up - and she even Instagrammed a childhood photo of herself dressed up as him. Then, there's the fact that she looks the part. Electric-blue Disney cartoon character eyes are framed by her porcelain-doll skin on her animated face. Her toned, lithe physique seems strong and light enough to fly through the night sky like a shadow. And her enthusiasm is magnetic. After talking to her about the live show, which airs in December, we learned just how much this casting means to her.

"It's just been the most fun," she gushed. "I wish I could come up with a better adjective, but it's truly a dream job. When you're an actor, this is exactly what you hope for. You hope that someone with a creative mind is going to look at you the way you are, and think, 'I feel like you can be Peter Pan.' She added that she knows it's a 180-degree turn from her current claim to fame: playing Marnie Michaels, the preppy, type-A character on HBO's hit show Girls. We quizzed the humble actress on all things Peter Pan, including going drag, facing the fear of performing live, and protecting a story that's close to so many people's hearts.
