I have it. It is a shows that Bernstien wrote a long time ago. It was just recorded to be recorded i think. I did not like it. It was too boring. There is one song that linda eder sings that is really god but i dont really like the others.
Just my opinion.....

Excerpts from Bernstein's version of the play was recorded with Jean Arthur and Boris Karloff on Columbia. The full score wasn't recorded then, but it was never to be a musical. Bernstein was asked to write incidental music for Barrie's play, just as the original production of P:ETER PAN in London had songs. I believe there was a vocal score of the original and the music was by James Crook.
Bernstein wasn't around for the production. According to Eric gordon, Bernstein dumped a pile of music into Marc Blitzstein's hands and said "deal with it." The new recording has some beautiful things in it, althopugh I think the high soprano in the Mermaids' number, originally a duet and not a chorus, is lousy.
I also think the scholarship in assembling a lost score, which this is, is very sketchy and suspicious.
