  Didn't see the Johnny Depp movie; didn't know anything about the storyline (depicting the life of J.M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan); didn't expect much, despite a mostly-glowing "Globe" review; was BLOWN AWAY by this musical.We attend all types of live performance, from opera to Shakespeare to choral presentations to jazz and blues. This piece is simply spectacular, with amazing production values, great voices, a superb pit orchestra, and some staging that we will never forget. It is going to Broadway, and deeply deserves to do so. Do not miss the opportunity to see this. It's family-friendly, and anyone who knows the story of Peter Pan will be especially happy with what happens during the unforgettable evening at "Finding Neverland". It was over oh-too-soon.

  Every production is excellent. Exciting, well cast, completely professional. I have never been disappointed by a show there.

  I recently saw the American Repertory Theater's production of Finding Neverland, directed by Diana Paulus and produced by Harvey Weinstein. Those names alone made this destined to be a Broadway-bound given, let alone that Jennifer Hudson sang the title song as a preview at this year's Tony's. All that aside, let's get to the play. It was magical, emotional, touching, heartbreaking, comedic...all in one. It connects us with both our inner child and mature adult. The music seamlessly acts as the seque from one scene to the next. The voices, dancing and acting are flawless...I DO HOPE THEY DON'T CHANGE THE CAST FOR BROADWAY - THEY ARE PERFECT!I guess by now you can tell I loved it...in fact I bought tickets to go again before it closes. I guess that is a true stamp of approval!!

  We have seen many plays at this theater. Even traditional plays like Mamet and Shakespeare's "Casear" and "The Tempest" are injected with new life not only in sets, but in attitude and state directions, even if original text is preserved. If you like theater and like to think about old (and new) things in new ways, take a chance and attend a performance.

  A reason to visit Boston. We have been going to plays at the American Repertory Theater since it was the Yale Repertory Theater in the late sixties and early seventies, occasionally taking a season or a year off in annoyance and eventually finding a reason to go back. Lately though the only criticism often lobbed at the ART is that it's "pre-Broadway", meaning too entertaining. While the ART's versions of plays such as The Tempest may give a particular take on a classic, they don't seem gimmicky. Recent productions have combined authenticity in interpretation with superbly edgy production values. It speaks well for the ART that it takes risks and remains successful. My favorite shows last year were three very different productions: The Shape She Makes (danced at the Oberon, the second stage) and All the Way and The Tempest at the Loeb. Under Diane Paulus's leadership the A.R.T. has reached new heights.

  We see shows here that eventually have gone on to Broadway (Porgy & Bess, Pippen, Finding Neverland). For less than 25% of the cost of a Broadway show, and in a theater that is small enough that you can really see everything up close and personal, it is the ideal theater environment

  Outstanding performance all around including the sets, the music, the performers,the sound, the special effects, and the theatre itself. The website is very helpful with suggestions (and discounts) for parking and nearby restaurants as well as maps on how to get around. I put this musical right up there with Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera - that's quite a compliment!

  Go see this play before it gets to Broadway. I went not knowing totally what the play was about. Yup guilty as charged. At first thought it was something to do with Michael Jackson and than read it was something to do with Peter Pan, which it was. The play is imaginative, the acting is amazing, the dancing is amazing, the singing is amazing, it tugs at your heart strings and while 2 1/2 hours long it does not feel long at all. What an amazing production. I called the last minute and got by luck a second row seat at a sold out production. Ticket was just turned in. Lucky me. Go see this now and you will not be disappointed. I promise you that.

  Just saw "Finding Neverland" and it was excellent. It will be going on to Broadway and it should be a success there. Prices of seats was good.
