After thrilling audiences on Broadway, the magical Finding Neverland heads to Greenville’s Peace Center. Performances are scheduled through July 30th.
Based on the Oscar-winning movie starring Johnny Depp, Finding Neverland tells the story of author J.M.Barrie and the family who inspired his greatest work – Peter Pan! Interweaving Barrie’s real life story with flights of fancy that take you deep into the world of Captain Hook and The Lost Boys, this musical is an inspiring ode to the creative spirit and speaks to the child in all of us.
Backed by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, Finding Neverland premiered at Boston’s Loeb Drama Center in 2014, before packing its bags for the bright lights of Broadway. With a stellar cast led by Glee’s Matthew Morrisson and Frasier’s Kelsey Grammar, the show opened at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre to box office reciepts regularly topping $1 million a week and reviews praising its technical wizardry.
The show’s bubbly pop score comes courtesy of British singer Gary Barlow (formerly of the boy band Take That) and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Eliot Kennedy, who’s penned tunes for the likes of The Spice Girls and Bryan Adams.
