Reviews
"...the sheer good humour of Never Neverland creates a wonderful feel-good atmosphere which was sustained for the whole evening...the musical score by Stiles and Drew suggested to me traces of Sondheim, Bartand, Lloyd Webber..." - The Stage"...a winner for both adults and children... a truly magical world come to life before our eyes..." - Reviews Gate.com
"From Beginning to end this is simply a joy...The tunes escalate the magic.... and makes the already brilliant J M Barrie Story all the more sublime." - Yorkshire Evening Post
"Tuned to near perfection...Songs full of wit and warmth...A Fantastic Flight of Fancy..." - Coventry Telegraph

Casting Notes
Prospective producers need not consider themselves outfaced by the seemingly substantial list of characters - with astute doubling, and a willing company, this musical can be performed in its entirety with a cast of 22. To allow for swings and understudies, 25 is a safer number.
