Finding Neverland tells the inspiring true story behind the creation of one of the world’s most beloved characters. In 1904, acclaimed London playwright J. M. Barrie is struggling with writer’s block, convinced he has nothing new left to say. Everything changes when he befriends the widowed Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four young sons—George, Peter, Jack, and Michael—in Kensington Gardens. Through their extraordinary games of make-believe, Barrie rediscovers the power of imagination, helping the grieving Peter learn to dream again while finding the inspiration for an entirely new kind of theatre.
Despite skepticism from producers, critics, and society, Barrie risks everything to bring his magical vision to the stage. The result is Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, a timeless tale that reminds audiences of the importance of hope, wonder, and never losing touch with the child within.
Filled with soaring music, humor, and heart, Finding Neverland celebrates the transformative power of imagination and the enduring magic of believing in the impossible.
We are seeking kids of all ages and sizes to embark on the journey to Neverland.
