You and my frequent theatre companion share this opinion.  In its defense, it is a way to get the well-known title Peter Pan in there, and it is the synopsis of what happens in the musical.

But the word "Neverland" is in the title. Doesn't that pretty much accomplish the same goal?

 

"and it is the synopsis of what happens in the musical. "

 

Highly debatable. What happens is a man named J.M Barrie creates the character of Peter Pan. "Peter Pan gets invented" would be accurate. So would "Peter [Lewellyn-Davies] becomes the namesake of Peter Pan." "Pan" is part of the character's name, not an adjective. At no point does anyone named "Peter" go from not being "Pan", to being "Pan"

City of Angels.

It sounds boring and just about LA and doesn't reflect the creativeness of the musical. Also who doesn't think of that Nick Cage and Meg Ryan film when they see that title?
