Two Songs from Brand New PETER PAN MUSICAL!!!

Posted: 6/2/08 at 4:42pm

These are two great songs from a new musical called DARLING.

It is based on Peter Pan from what I can gather (and from the song titles).

Both songs are sung by Alex Brightman who was in GLORY DAYS and i believe he is going to play Peter!

Also, Ryan Scott Oliver is the same composer that wrote ALIVE AT TEN, the musical that just won the richard rodgers award!

Based on the songs and the composers reputation, I think the future of Broadway is in good hands.

Check it out!

OH THANK GOD! I have always said what this story needed was a musical version, a thing so sorely lacking in its history.

PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

BARKER, are you being serious? I can't tell.

I think it sounds new and fresh. It's a weird kind of contemporary.

The guy singing it is barely in tune, and it reminds me of Spring Awakening.

I am not being serious. Just to review, the musical versions of this story include . . .

1950 Leonard Bernstein Stage Musical
1953 Disney Film
1954 Styne/Charlap/Rittman/Leigh/Comden/Green Stage Musical
1989 Piers Chater Robinson Stage Musical
1996 Drewe & Stiles Stage Musical
1997 Peter and Wendy Stage Musical
2008 Darling Stage Musical (?)

My post was intended as sarcasm.

This show sounds different than the regular "MUSICAL VERSION OF PETER PAN."

In the song NEVER, they talk about drugs and sex.

I think it sounds cool and fresh.

Has anyone listened to his stuff from ALIVE AT TEN?

Good stuff!

bwayrosen, are you involved with this show? You joined today and your post reads like an advertisement.

The songs were okay. I tuned out because the melodies didn't really excite/entertain me. And if this really is going to be the sixth musical based on the same material, it had better be daaamn special.

not involved with the musical, i just never had anything to post about until now, which is why i officially joined

just see lots of concerts at the Beechman.

i missed this concert and i searched it on youtube

i agree, it has to be OUTSTANDING and EXTREMELY CONCEPTUAL for us not to be bored and turn away.

I am also a huge peter pan fan.

perhaps this is a stupid question but is this the same musical that the GREY GARDENS writers are working on?

We don't need another Peter Pan musical. Please.

I'm kinda excited to see where they go with this.
Not the disney or Mary Martin Peter Pan we all know so well...
I like new spins on classic stories

Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone and ta'en thy wages: Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. ~Cymbeline

I talked to a friend of mine who was at the beechman and she said that the musical takes place in the 1930s after the depression and that there is no MAGIC in it...like no flying and no fairy tale aspects...it's more of a real story and more focused on Wendy.

I don't know if that's clear, but that's what i got.

If you like off-pitch singing, it's fantastic. Otherwise, I thought it was sh*t.

it could be really cool, but since when does a song about drugs and sex make a song "contemporary?"

bwayrosen - Do I know you? I once owned PeterPanFan.com.

Being a Peter Pan historian, I am always at the welcome for new stage adaptations of the story. I haven't listened to the songs yet but I will as soon as I get the chance.

There was an independent film based on the story called NEVERLAND. It was set in the present and "Neverland" was an amusement park. Fairy dust, was, in fact, fairy dust (the drug). Tiger Lily was a drag queen. Tons of sexual ineundos.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

IMO two really bad songs very poorly sung. They have nothing to do with Peter Pan. A new musical version of the story is not needed.

"perhaps this is a stupid question but is this the same musical that the GREY GARDENS writers are working on?"

No. They're adapting the film "Finding Neverland" which was about J.M.Barrie writing Peter Pan. It was like "Shakespeare In Love" but a different subject.

Poor RSO. So overrated by people who don't know anything.

"A new musical version of the story is not needed."

I strongly disagree. If you know the source material as I do, then you may agree that there has YET to be a stage (nor film) adaptation that truly incorporates the dark tones which bode through.

I would love to see PAN done on stage in a musical adaptation which highlights this.

I think if anything they should musicalize HOOK!!!

Because the book is a classic and it would be great to have a show that is more faithful to the source material! Did he not explain in English?
