The Broadway smash

After thrilling audiences on Broadway, the magical Finding Neverland heads out across the country on a national tour. Based on the Oscar-winning movie starring Johnny Depp, Finding Neverland tells the story of author J.M.Barrie and the family who inspired his greatest work - Peter Pan! Interweaving Barrie's real-life story with flights of fancy that take you deep into the world of Captain Hook and The Lost Boys, this musical is an inspiring ode to the creative spirit and speaks to the child in all of us!

Peter flys to New York

Finding Neverland premiered at Boston's Loeb Drama Center in 2014, before packing its bags for the bright lights of Broadway. With a stellar cast led by Glee's Matthew Morrisson and Frasier's Kelsey Grammar, the show opened at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre to box office receipts regularly topping $1 million a week and reviews praising its technical wizardry.

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 FINDING NEVERLAND ABOUT?

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.
