I do believe in fairies, I do, I do
Return to the joy and wonder of Neverland in BalletMet's Company Premiere of this exciting ballet choreographed by Michael Pink to a score by Philip Feeny, based on the classic J.M. Barrie story of a strange young boy and the thrilling adventures he shows the enchanted Darling children.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Three children in a wealthy family feel neglected by their stern mother, and are comforted by their patient and caring father. Wendy is approaching 12 and yearns for more adventure in her life before she leaves the nursery and begins formal training as a young woman. One night, a mysterious stranger enters the nursery; a boy of Wendy's age, who can fly. After she helps him retrieve his lost shadow, he invites her and her younger brothers John and Michael for the journey of a lifetime.
With adventures dark, compelling and sweetly funny, Wendy must decide whether or not to remain in Neverland with Peter and his Lost Boys as their chief storyteller and "mother", or return home to their grief-stricken family, who believe that they have lost them forever. But will Peter let her and the Lost Boys return without a fight? And is Captain Hook really the true villain in this story?
