NYC-ARTS Spotlights Broadway's FINDING NEVERLAND in Special Episode Tonight

In the next edition of NYC-ARTS, THIRTEEN's weekly arts and culture multi-platform showcase for the tri-state area, viewers will be treated to a behind-the-scenes peek at the musical FINDING NEVERLAND, which is currently playing at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theater. Hosted by Rafael Pi Roman, NYC-ARTS: FINDING NEVERLAND will air tonight, October 8 at 8 p.m. on THIRTEEN, and will be available for streaming on NYC-ARTS.org.

FINDING NEVERLAND is based on the Academy Award-winning film about playwright J.M. Barrie's creation of "Peter Pan." The musical dramatizes Barrie's friendship with a widow and her four sons who ignite his imagination to conceive the story of Peter, Tinker Bell, the Darling Family, Captain Hook and all the wonders of Neverland.

Pi Roman speaks with the Tony Award-winning director Diane Paulus, as well as leading cast members Matthew Morrison and Laura Michelle Kelly. Together with footage from the show's workshops, rehearsals and clips from the full Broadway production, NYC-ARTS: FINDING NEVERLAND brings viewers through the creative process of bringing the production to the Great White Way.
