Also, I noticed that the ending of the song "Neverland" has been drastically changed. It was quite gorgeous, but really caught me off guard. Does anyone know when this was changed?

It was changed after Matthew left and it's been slightly different with the different Barries. Both Tony Y and Kevin sing this different version (which may be the same to each other but not sure). Alfie's version has the biggest change as it showcases his voice - but IMO is not my favorite because he sings the end like a solo, as opposed to the duet is actually is. It's like yes we know you sing but it's written for two characters.
There are also some other differences since Matthew left - opening of Act 2 is different and the end scenes are slightly changed as well.
At his 54 below concert Matthew sang neverland differently. Is that the arrangement that they use now?
I hope he tours with the show, but from what another thread said we shouldn't look out for a Broadway name.
maybe Kevin? But he has kids so I doubt he'll want to travel the country.

No I wouldn't say it's the same one that Tony uses today...though of course the real ending is a duet between James and Sylvia and includes harmony (that was not used originally either).
