## Show Summary

### Act 1

The show starts on the streets of London, with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Chip, and Dale (in later runs of the show) paying a visit. Several of the citizens help them have a Jolly Holiday. The gang starts sightseeing around the streets of London, starting with a statue of Peter Pan. Mickey then starts to retell the story of Peter Pan.

In the Darling residence, Wendy was telling John and Micheal about how Nana caught Peter's shadow. As they get tucked in for the night, Mr. Darling warns Wendy that this will be the last night in the nursery and takes Nana outside while Mary Darling tries to cheer her children up before she goes to dinner. Tinker Bell signals the entrance of Peter Pan and helps him find his shadow which has been tucked away in the dresser. Wendy wakes up and is happy to see that Peter Pan has come back for his shadow, so she sews it back on and wakes John and Micheal so they can meet him. When John reminds Wendy that her father said tonight is to be her last night in the nursery, Peter decides to invite her to Neverland where she'll never grow up as he tells her that she can be their mother, and tell them stories, and about there and the Lost Boys. John and Michael want to go too, and Peter agrees but he warns them that they gotta take orders and that Neverland may be dangerous because there are wild animals, pirates, hungry crocodiles, and Indians, so he teaches the children how to fly, and off they go.

Somewhere in Neverland, Captain Hook and Mr. Smee are in a rowboat, contemplating Captain Hook's Hook and how it helped him in several situations. As Captain Hook makes his plans for revenge, The Tick Tock Croc enters trying to take a bite out of Captain Hook, but Mr. Smee shoos him off. In Skull Rock, Captain Hook kidnaps Tiger Lily and asks her if she had seen Peter Pan, to which she refuses to answer. Peter Pan then tries his best to trick Captain Hook as he rescues Tiger Lily.

In Neverland, 6 lads in animal costumes (the Lost Boys) enter the scene with the song Following the Leader. Tinker Bell, jealous of Wendy, lies to the Lost Boys into believing that Wendy is a bird and shooting her down, as they do, but they are embarrassed when they find out that Wendy is a girl, while John is angry at Tinker Bell that he sends her away, so he tells them that Peter brought her to tell them stories, as the Lost Boys are happy to see Wendy alive. Wendy breaks the news to them that she will be their mother. After that, Micheal and John head out with the Lost Boys to play games until they are kidnap by the Indians. The Indian Chief is angry because his daughter is missing. He doesn't know she was kidnapped by Hook and Smee. He instead believes the Lost Boys had kidnapped her. When Tiger Lily returns to the tribe, she then tells the story of how Peter rescued her, making his father happy. Peter then breaks the news to the chief that Wendy will be the mother of the lost boys, calling for a celebration.

### Act 2

As the second act starts, Wendy tells the lost boys what a real mother is and about the real world they come from, and Peter fears that they won't be staying. Hook and Mr. Smee try to look for Peter Pan's hideout a bit more, sitting on a mushroom chimney in the process. At the location, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and the Pirate take advantage to kidnap Wendy and the boys. Mr. Smee asks Captain Hook how he'll finish him, with a response direct from the original stage play, putting a bit of poison in Peter Pan's milk. Tinker Bell warns Peter Pan of Hook's plan and drinks the milk for him, getting poisoned in the process. The only way for her to be revived is for people to believe in make-believe. Peter Pan gets the audience to clap together to help bring Tinker Bell back to life. Peter and Tinker Bell go to the ship and save Wendy and the Lost Boys.

Captain Hook holds a special celebration back in the ship, celebrating his success in capturing The Lost Boys, and presumably ending Peter Pan. Captain tries to recruit the Lost Boys to be pirates which Wendy refuses. Captain Hook tries to make them walk the plank, while Peter and Tinker Bell try to distract him by making a mysterious ticking noise. Captain Hook believes this and panics while Peter saves Wendy by taking her place by hiding in her cloak. When Captain Hook tries to force Peter to walk the plank by mistaking her for Wendy, Peter reveals his true identity. As John, Michael and the Lost Boys succeed in taking the pirates down, Hook makes battles with Peter Pan. As he nears success, the Crocodile appears and eats him whole. Captain Pan then makes a course back to the Lost Boys' house, but Wendy reveals that they must return home to where they belong.

Back at the Darling residence, Mr. Darling, Mrs. Darling, and Nana are sad and heartbroken because the children are gone until Wendy, John, and Micheal return home. Wendy then tells her mother and father about the adventure they had in Neverland, which he remembers quite clearly. They celebrate their return with a big finale with everyone from Neverland, including Mary Poppins and Bert, Mickey, and the Gang, and the star of the show: Peter Pan.
