Broadway’s biggest new hit and the winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for BestMusical, this breathtaking smash “captures the kid-at-heart,” says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, “It’s a must-see you’ll remember for years to come!”
Directed by visionary Tony®-winner Diane Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award® winning film starring Johnny Depp, FINDING NEVERLAND tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie’s classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. FINDING NEVERLAND is “far and away the best musical of the year!” (NPR).

Absolutely fabulous! Did not expect such a wonderful show!
I honestly have to admit that I was not entirely familiar with the story line for this one; I thought it was "simply" a Peter Pan story, which is not correct. I was originally sold on the fact that Matthew Morison had done the original role and I had heard his understudy, who was the lead in the traveling crew, was just as amazing. I also expected it to be a great family show, which is what I was looking for. I ended up being blown away by how moving the story was. The actors were all amazing, the music was grand, and it was not lacking for that magical feeling I was hoping for! There are some teary eyed moments, so bring a tissue!
Lead with great voice, choreography so-so, nice evening out but not wowed. Ran too long should have stopped at pivotal scene.
Excellent show, great music, and incredible visuals.
This is great show to take an older child to. Adults will like it too.The story is fun, and the dancing and ensemble antics are very entertaining. The children are incredibly talented. It is hard to believe that they are so young. They come across like seasoned veterans displaying very consistent characters. The visuals were also very effectives. I love when scenes change using video and small set pieces. This makes the story flow from one scene to another seamlessly. The auditory features were great, especially the cannons. I would like to hear the lead characters' mics turned up louder when they sing with the ensemble, however. They both have lovely but light voices. But overall, kudos and bravo to a very energetic and talented cast.
Well done! We're funny and meaningful. Ultimately a very beautiful experience.
We smiled the whole time. It was fun, the set was great and the talent there. The score is one to remember. This is worthy of it's accolades.
Beautiful production; acting, dance, and setting was wonderful. Would recommend this to any age.
Good performances, but the show felt formulaic and the music was inconsistent with production numbers that came out of nowhere.
