Broadway Musical Home

This timeless family musical is adapted from two works by J.M. Barrie: the 1904 play of the same name and the 1911 novel “Peter and Wendy.”

Story:

Flying boy Peter Pan and his fairy companion Tinkerbell encounter Wendy and her brothers when flying through London searching for Peter’s shadow. When Wendy helps Peter sew it back on, he offers to take them all to his home in Neverland where they meet the Lost Boys and encounter the evil Captain Hook. The conflict between Peter and Hook takes center stage as the magical adventure turns dangerous and teaches everyone the true power of friendship.
