Based on J.M.

This high-flying Tony Award-winning musical has been performed around the world and delighted audiences for 60 years.

In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
