Inside Broadway’s Executive Director Michael Presser was
pleased to announce that on Thursday,
December 10, Finding
Neverland and
the Lunt-Fontanne
Theatre (205
West 46th Street)
was visited by thousands of NYC public school students when
the theatre arts & education organization presented
its popular ‘Creating
the Magic’ Program. Featuring the cast and production
crew of the hit Broadway musical, the
special 80
minute program was
offered at 10:45amand 1:15pm.
Providing a truly unique Broadway experience, Inside
Broadway’s free
‘Creating the Magic’ Program will be presented
to over 3,000 New York City public school students who
will get a behind-the-scenes
look at the
inner world of Broadway and learn about career opportunities
in the theater. From exciting set, lighting and sound
demonstrations, musical performances from the cast and a Q&A
session, attendees will have a special behind-the-scenes
look at a Broadway show featuring members of the Finding
Neverland cast
and production crew.
Based on the Academy Award®-winning film of the same name,
this breathtaking show follows playwright J.M. Barrie as he
summons the courage to become the writer – and the man – he
yearns to be. Barrie finds the inspiration he’s been missing
when he meets the beautiful widow Sylvia and her four young
sons: Jack, George, Michael and Peter. Delighted by the
boys’ hilarious escapades, Barrie conjures the magical world
of Neverland and writes a play unlike any the high-society
London theatergoers have ever seen. It’s a tremendous risk,
but as Barrie himself has discovered—“When you believe, you
can fly.” For more information on the show, please visit
