Posted: 8/12/04 at 2:34pmIt's definitely in the movie, but I don't know if it's in the play. I've only seen the play once, and that was when I was 8.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 2:35pmI just looked it up online, it is actually called "Distant Melody". It is definitely in the Mary Martin movie version...not sure about any other versions.

WHOA THERE!! WRONG-O!!
The song is called "Distant Melody" and was written to replace the song "When I Went Home" because When I Went Home was considered too depressing (imagine that! Distant Melody is already depressing!).
Peter DOES sing the lullaby. Wendy asks Peter to sing a lullaby to his children, and Peter remembers this song, "Distant Meldoy" that the audience knows his mother sang to him before he ran away to Neverland. This song, in turn, makes the Darling children homesick, and they tell Peter they want to go back home to London.
And that is today's PETER PAN lesson.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 2:58pmUGH! I love 'The Graveyard'! So pretty. Esp. when the two Janes sing together. That definitely should be longer.

I love "What do you do with a BA in English" I wish it was more than a few lines. Also the whole Taboo needs to be longer. Every character should have at least one more song.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 3:52pmYes! I agree with "The Games I Play". It's my favorite from MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS. Also, I could stand for "Holding to the Ground" to have a few more verses.

Posted: 8/12/04 at 8:24pmThis isn't really short, but it is sweet. "Somewhere That's Green" when Kerry Butler sang it on the CD. I wish I could hear a clip of Jessica Snow-Wilson's interpretation of that song.
