Who: My high school bestie, my neighbor, and I
What: Finding Neverland, the musical adaptation of the 2004 film
When: June 2017
Where: The Hippodrome Theatre, Baltimore, MD
Why: because it looks so darn whimsical and pretty
Thoughts: When the film came out, I liked it but I also felt it was slow-moving and ultimately I never watched it again. I have similar feelings about the play, but musical numbers made the slowness a little more bearable and an excellent Act I finale (possibly the best I've seen) ensured that the audience would return for Act II. The cast is talented, the visuals are stunning (who can beat a glitter wind tunnel!?), but ultimately my feelings are pretty similar to the film: it's well worth watching, but just too slow to enjoy over and over IMO.

Aww if it was slow moving I'd have been bored too.
