## Transcript

NBC's next live musical, Peter Pan. And the network's entertainment chairman, Robert Greenblatt knows who he wants to cast as the boy from Neverland, Miley Cyrus. Granted Greenblatt was joking when he told reporters that on Sunday, but we wondered what would it actually be like. Well, if Miley had it her way, naked probably a lot of nakedness. Peter Pan naked flying though the sky, second star to the right and straight until morning, naked fighting Captain Hook. Yikes, that could be dangerous. Though the premise isn't as crazy as it might sound, Peter Pan has often been played by actresses in the past.

Famously with Mary Martin in 1960 also on NBC and Cyrus does have acting experience that would be an improvement on Carrie Underwood in NBC's hit The Sound of Music. She hadn't acted before and her performance wasn't popular with critics. Plus Miley's got that Peter Pan perfect short hair and the whole never growing up thing, pretty much the phase Miley is embracing right now. So, Miley Cyrus as Peter Pan. It's so crazy it just might work. She has just got to keep her clothes on. For Time, I'm Lauren Zima.
