A non-equity national tour of the musical Finding Neverland will launch September 28 at The Clemens Center in Elmira, New York.
Based on the Academy Award-winning film by David Magee and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee, Finding Neverland follows the relationship between playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up.
Diane Paulus' Finding Neverland, with direction recreated by tour director Mia Walker, will open in Hershey, Pennsylvania, at the Hershey Theatre October 2.
