At every live theatre performance there is a community of strangers who gather together to experience something special together. In a new music video, the Broadway hit FINDING NEVERLAND uses its rousing second act ensemble number, "Something About This Night," to celebrate the community of live theatre.
It begins with actors arriving at the theatre and going through the rituals of getting into costume, reading fan mail and warming up, but also includes scenes of parents gathering their kids and a couple sipping pre-show champagne their own rituals of preparing for a special evening.
The front of house staff is also featured, making sure everyone feels welcome. Broadway shows give eight performances a week. The trick is to make each one seem like the most special of them all.
Finding Neverland has played to packed houses at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (205 West 46th Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenues) since beginning performances in March. Upon its spring opening, Entertainment Weekly proclaimed Finding Neverland "Pixie-dusted perfection," and added it to the magazine's coveted "Must-List." "Touching and beautiful," hailed the Daily News. While USAToday cheered, "Finding Neverland flies!" Vogue exclaimed "Fabulous stage magic that you'll remember for years to come!" WABC's Sandy Kenyon raved, "A crowd-pleaser of the kind that's too rare on Broadway these days." And NPR called Finding Neverland""Magnificent! Far-and-away the best musical of the season. Finding Neverland should be found by everyone as soon as possible!"
Finding Neverland follows playwright J.M. Barrie as he summons the courage to become the writer - and the man - he yearns to be. Barrie finds the inspiration he's been missing when he meets the beautiful widow Sylvia and her four young sons: Jack, George, Michael and Peter. Delighted by the boys' hilarious escapades, Barrie conjures the magical world of Neverland and writes a play unlike any the high-society London theatergoers have ever seen. It's a tremendous risk, but as Barrie himself has discovered- when you believe, you can fly. Directed by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (Pippin, Hair),with music and lyrics by Gary Barlow (Take That) and Grammy® winner Eliot Kennedy, book by Olivier Award nominee James Graham, and choreography by Emmy Award®-winner Mia Michaels("So You Think You Can Dance," Cirque du Soleil's Delirium), this new musical, packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs, is a timeless story about the power of imagination... and spectacular PROOFthat you never really have to grow up.
Something About This NightEight times a week, audiences of all ages come together with actors and musicians to celebrate the magic of Broadway at FINDING NEVERLAND!
