Neverland (Reprise) - Matthew Morrison, Laura Michelle Kelly, Carolee Carmello

Act one, scene one

The Nursery

It’s the Darling House.

And look, see?

Preparing the beds is Nana,

the family dog, because the Darlings couldn’t afford a real nanny.

But it didn’t matter, because they were happy and didn’t care

Oh, Peter

I won’t go to bed!

I won’t!

I won’t!

That’s what I say!

Nana, it isn’t six o’clock yet!

Alright, I’m going to bed, I’m going to bed

And then, the most amazing boy flies in through the window!

Goodness, a boy who flies!

Why are you crying?

I wasn’t crying.

But I can’t get my shadow to stick on

It has come off!

How awful!

You’ve been trying to stick it on with soap!

Well then?

It must be sewn on

And so Wendy sews on Peter’s shadow…

…and Peter is so happy he dances with it around the room!

Wendy, one girl is worth more than twenty boys

I shall give you a kiss, Peter, If you like

Thank you

Don’t you know what a kiss is?

I shall know one when you give it to me

And so not to hurt his feelings, Wendy gives Peter a thimble for his finger

Now shall I give you a kiss?

If you please

And in return, Peter gives Wendy an acorn

Thank you, Peter.

I shall wear it on a chain around my neck

That’s not a kiss, even I know that!

That’s the point!

It’s clever!

And then, this is my favorite bit.

Peter shows Wendy how to fly!

We can sail away tonight

On a sea of pure moonlight

We can navigate the stars

To bring us back home

In a place so far away

We are young

That’s how we’ll stay

And with your hand in my hand

We will find ourselves

In Never Neverland

Ahhhh!

Pirates!

That’s Captain James-Hook.

He’s the most dastardly rouge that ever lived

Oh.

I love this guy!

He’s such a

Good for nothing scoundrel!

Peter flung my arm to a crocodile!

And he liked it so much, he’s followed me

ever since, from land to land and sea to sea, licking his lips for the rest of

me.

Oy, It’s the crocodile!

Indians!

Like the characters we invented in the park!

While we were make-believing

Mr. Barrie was writing all the while

Yes, a lot of this seems rather familiar…

Yes look, there are pirates

And indians!

And fairies!

Even a crocodile!

I hope I’m not the crocodile!

I hear the mermaids

Such a beautiful sound

Ahh

Just a little faith and

Both your feet leave the ground

We can sail away tonight

On a sea of pure moonlight

We can navigate the stars

To bring us back home

In a place so far away

We’ll be young

That’s how we’ll stay

Every wish is a command

In this special place

Here in Neverland

Oh no, Tinker Bell!

What is she saying, Peter?

She drank his medicine because it was poisoned

She drank it to save his life!

Is… is Tink dying?

Look.

Her light is growing faint.

If it goes out, that means she’s dead

She says she thinks she can get well again, if children believe in fairies

And do you?

Do you believe in fairies?

If you believe, clap your hands!

I believe!

Come along, children!

Everyone!

Clap louder!

That is Neverland

Picture a land

That you never have seen

Where life is eternal and evergreen

A future of happiness all in your hands

All in this place of your dreams

Here inside Neverland

Shooting stars

New shapes and sizes

Wakenings and new surprises

Opening my eyes to something happening

Neverland

Universe of constant spinning

Every end and new beginning

I begin to feel that something’s happening to me

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

You just close your eyes

And count to ten

Breathe in twice

And open them

You know where to go

You have been there before

In your heart…

And by closing my eyes

I’ll be finding Neverland
