Finding Neverland is a feel-good musical for families and grown-ups – who haven’t fully grown up! Curve theatre Leicester, England


FINDING NEVERLAND - THE MUSICAL

22 SEP - 18 OCT 2012
THEATRE PERFORMANCE

Finding Neverland is a feel-good musical for families and grown-ups – who haven’t fully grown up!
Our story begins the day after James Barrie’s new play The Wedding Guest has flopped.
Walking with his dog Porthos in Kensington Gardens, he meets a beautiful widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four boys, Jack, George, Michael and Peter. Inspired by their hilarious and fun-filled misadventures, he creates the magical and beloved world of Peter Pan.
Based on the Academy Award-winning film, this celebrated musical is packed with stunning dance and musical numbers. Producer Harvey Weinstein, who executive produced the film, has put together an exceptional team led by multiple Tony and Olivier Award-winning director and choreographer Rob Ashford. Michael Korie and Scott Frankel are the award-winning lyricist and composer (Grey Gardens) and the book is by Allan Knee. 
Don’t be surprised if you see a pirate ship sailing across the stage, while mermaids dance and magical gardens enchant.
Finding Neverland will transport audiences to extraordinary places beyond their wildest imagination, ensuring wonderfully enchanting entertainment at its best!
The cast
British stage and screen actor Julian Ovenden will play JM Barrie.  Having conquered the West End and Broadway, this charismatic actor and singer has just released his debut album and is well known for playing many leading roles in high profile television shows on both sides of the Atlantic. Two spine-tingling, show-stopping performances at the 2010 Proms, singing Sondheim and Rodgers and Hammerstein.
