Finding Neverland is an original musical with music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham. Made by the 2004 film Finding Neverland, the musical made its world premiere at the Curve theatre Leicester in 2012, with the reworked version making its world premiere in 2014 at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The musical began Broadway March 2015.
Not many people know this but the person who wrote this musical actually found the inspiration to write this from a beautiful young widow he had met along with her four children.
Also most people don't know that most of the time Peter is actually played by a female figure. This is because he has to sing very high because he is still a boy but most men can't get the part.
The musical is much much different then the book or movie. In fact most people say they enjoyed that it was different rather than the usual Peter Pan. The story of Peter Pan is well known in most American households.
