Yes, I can see how this was seen as a vehicle for Matthew Morrison’s career, and I truly believe that it was both written with him in mind and should have died when he left it, and I mean these things in the most derogatory way possible.

Finding Neverland? More like found it often MID

[Susie Carson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this play as prep for a production I am participating in with Red Phoenix Theatre in Alpharetta, GA. I am to play Mrs. Du Maurier, mother of Sylvia, whose family is the inspiration for J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. As a play, it is pretty good. Easy to read, with good characters. I love a London setting, especially the early 1900's. Even though I only gave it 3 stars, I think the show is going to be awesome. It's just hard to really love reading a play-it's best to see it performed. The music, costumes, dancing, and characterizations really add so much to the experience.

I enjoyed this musical, so I wanted to check out the sheet music book. I really liked being able to read over the music and the lyrics to help me understand the songs better.
