Todd's set and costume designs bring the essential childish qualities of the story to life. The stage is gorgeous, decked out with wood and rope to create something between a pirate ship and a treehouse, and Todd makes creative use of different levels and moving parts to create different spaces within Neverland. The costumes are charming and, in the spirit of make-believe, resemble the clothes worn by a group of children: a familiar combination of plaid shirts, striped jumpers, comfy sneakers and ankle socks.

BROADWAY WORLD

As we take our seats, we are greeted by Libby Todd’s enchanting set. It sets the scene for adventure, with magically floating windows and lots of hanging ropes, giving a nautical feel as well as evoking some traumatic school gymnasium flashbacks! There are many references to childhood throughout the piece, including clapping games, wooden sword fights and much loved teddy bears, Todd’s set design, complete with hidden trapdoors and secret passageways, creates a space where Peter and the Lost Boys can let their imaginations run wild.
