Why see Finding Neverland?
The Broadway Smash
Based on the Oscar-winning movie, Finding Neverland tells the uplifting story of J.M. Barrie and the family who inspired him to write the iconic classic Peter Pan. Weaving together real-life events and flights of fancy into the world of The Lost Boys and Captain Hook, don't miss this glorious musical as it swashbuckles its way to you!
The show's bubbly pop score comes courtesy of British singer Gary Barlow (formerly of the boy band Take That) and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Eliot Kennedy, who's penned tunes for the likes of The Spice Girls and Bryan Adams.
What Is The Story?
Scottish playwright J.M.Barrie may be a household name today, but back in the late 1800s, when Finding Neverland begins, he wasn't the greatest of successes. His latest work had proved to be yet another in a long line of theatrical flops, and Barrie was in desperate need of a change in fortunes. Enter the Llewelyn family, comprised of Sylvia and her four boys. After a chance encounter in Kensington Park, Barrie becomes a close family friend to the Llewelyn's, and inspired by the children's boundless imagination and sense of adventure, begins work on the play which would write his name into the history books.
