Hi all,

I'm singing "All that matters now" for an exam and I need to know the context of the song within the show.

I know the overall story of Finding Neverland but I don't know what's happened directly before the song.

unfortunately the show isn't over in the UK yet so any help from you lovelies would be greatly appreciated :)

thanks!

Sylvia Llewelyn Davies has just gotten home from a dinner party with her mother and children housed by J.M. Barrie.  At the party Barrie teaches the kids about imagination and such "We Own the Night" in the show, the boys get rowdy on the way home.  Sylvia and her mother get in an argument about her budding relationship with Barrie and the effect he might be having on her chances to get remarried as well as her children.  It also hints at her impending illness, her mother telling her that she needs to take things easy.  Sylvia is simply a single, grieving mother trying to take care of her kids and a man comes along and makes her happy.

 

Help??
