NBC hopes to send your heart soaring (and its ratings soaring higher) on Dec. 4 when it airs Peter Pan Live, the network's first TV-musical production since last year's Carrie Underwood-fronted ratings gem The Sound of Music.
The trailer, above, features Girls star Allison Williams singing as Peter Pan and Oscar winner Christopher Walken's dance moves as Captain Hook.
The duo follow in the footsteps of Mary Martin and Cyril Richard, who starred as Pan and Hook in the 1955 Broadway production that NBC aired to the tune of 65 million viewers.
Williams has said in previous interviews that she's wanted to play Peter Pan since she was a child. In June, she posted an Instagram photo of her younger self dressed as the character.

For the uninitiated (and if this is you, we don't know you've gotten this far in life), Peter Pan is a boy who can fly, doesn't age and lives in Neverland, an island where he leads a group of children known as the Lost Boys.
Walken, 71, got his start in musical theater and has performed in 13 Broadway productions; he will sing and tap during the Peter Pan telecast. Walken famously showed off his moves in Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" music video, during which he danced wildly and even flew around like Peter Pan in a hotel lobby.
Walken previously worked with Peter Pan producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron on 2007's Hairspray film. Zadan and Meron also produced NBC's The Sound of Music last year.
Though snark ran high on social media, The Sound of Music attracted 18.5 million viewers for its three-hour televised spectacle. It was touted as a ratings win, as it pulled a bigger audience than other live events in 2013, including the Billboard Music Awards (9.4 million), American Music Awards (12.9 million), CMA Awards (16.6 million) and Academy of Country Music Awards (15.4 million). However, it roped in far fewer sets of eyeballs than CBS's Grammy Awards (28.5 million) and the Super Bowl halftime show (104 million).
The Sound of Music picked up four Emmy nominations, which bodes well for NBC's Peter Pan project and the future of live TV musicals.
The musical was nominated for Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Special Class Program as well as Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video Control for a Miniseries, Movie or Special. It won the latter.
NBC's third TV musical will be The Music Man in 2015.
