Me: Prefers serious versions of Hook
Also me: Fully accepts "Oh My Mysterious Lady" from the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan as a canon depiction of how Hook would react to finding a lady in Neverland. Proceeds to apply this to every version of Captain Hook.

So the Broadway version of Peter Pan is making its rounds in my neck of the woods soon, and while I’m not sure I can justify the expense right now, I am extremely curious about both the restaging since I last saw it and more importantly the fact that PETER IS PLAYED BY A YOUNG MAN. I’ve never seen the Cathy Rigby/Mary Martin version with Peter being played by a dude, and I just wonder why the decision was made and what kind of a singing voice he has where the songs will suit his voice. Like did they pitch the songs down an octave or something to fit him? Or does he just have a higher pitched voice naturally? So many questions…
