This is the beloved story of Peter, Wendy, Michael, John, Capt. Hook, Smee, the lost boys, pirates and the indians, and, of course, Tinker Bell, in their adventures in Never Land. A resonant and beguiling fantasy that boasts as much spectacle as any child could wish; and that, at the same time, touches on the double tragedy of growing up into conformity or being marooned indefinitely in the Neverland.

Based on the Play by James M. Barrie, Lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Music by Mark Charlap and Jule Styne
