Variety has a nice article about Peter and his success in working with child performers:

That's a lovely article. I'm so, so pleased, too, that he'll be choreographing Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. If it's anywhere near as good as BETM or Matilda, then it'll be an oustanding piece of theatre. Can't wait!

Peter has won the best choreographer What's On Stage award for Charlie And The Chocolate Factory:
