Q: What do you consider as some of the production’s highlights?
A: The show is visually stunning, and in particular, I love the sumptuous costumes. It also tells a fascinating story about J.M. Barrie’s life, how he dreamed up the world of Neverland, and the risks involved with bringing that story to the London stage.
Q: Do you have a favorite, scene, song or moment in the show?
A: I do – but I can’t tell you much about it without a spoiler alert. But there’s a moment at the end of this show that is so beautifully staged it will give you chills.
Q: How do the cast members and other aspects of the show (staging, lighting, costumes etc.) complement the script/story?
A: The cast really makes this show come alive, especially the children who ultimately give Barrie the courage and inspiration to follow his dreams.
