SIR J.M. BARRIE (Author, Original Play) (1860—1937) was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland. When their parents died, Barrie became guardian to three boys whom he had met in Kensington Gardens in 1897. The boys are thought to be the inspiration for the creation of Peter Pan. Peter Pan first took place in 1904 and remarkably Barrie girted the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London in 1929, later extended for perpetuity in the U.K.

CAROLYN LEIGH (Lyricist) (1926—1983) is perhaps best known as the lyricist of that classic of the musical theatre, Peter Pan. She not only created the lyrics but was also the originator of the idea for a musical about the playground for adults called Wall Street – and this became the musical How Now, Dow Jones on which she collaborated with Elmer Bernstein and for which she received a Tony nomination. Before Mr. Bernstein, her partner was mainly Cy Coleman and as a words and music team they gave the nation some of its top popular hits: “Witchcraft,” “The Best Is Yet to Come,” “Firefly,” “Hey, Look Me Over,” “Pass Me By” and “When in Rome.” They also gave Broadway one of its most delicious scores in Wildcat, starring Lucille Ball and Little Me starring Sid Caesar.

MORRIS “MOOSE” CHARLAP (Composer) (1928—1974) wrote the original score for the 1954 Broadway musical Peter Pan starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard. The show was presented as a limited 16-week engagement and before opening night every performance was sold out. Charlap went on to write the scores for Broadway’s Woop-Up (1958), The Conquering Hero (1961) and Kelly (1965).

BETTY COMDEN (1917—2006) and ADOLPH GREEN (1914—2002) (Additional Lyrics), recipients of the 1991 Kennedy Center Honors, began as a group called The Revuers, which included Judy Holliday. Their first musical was On the Town, also the first for Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins and for which they wrote the book and lyrics and two leading roles for themselves. With Bernstein they also collaborated on Wonderful Town. With Jule Styne they wrote book and/or lyrics to Bells Are Ringing, Do Re Mi, Say Darling, Subways Are For Sleeping, and Hallelujah, Baby! They also created book and/or lyrics to Applause and On the Twentieth Century and The Will Rogers Follies. They have received six Tony Awards. Their many movie musicals include The Band Wagon, On the Town, Bells Are Ringing, It’s Always Fair Weather, and Singin’ In the Rain, which was voted one of the ten best films of all time by the American Film Institute. Their non-musical films are Auntie Mame and What a Way to Go. Members of the Dramatists Guild Council, they enjoyed performing their own works under the title A Party With Comden and Green. 

AMANDA GREEN (Additional Lyrics) is proud to contribute additional lyrics to this beautiful bold re-imagining of Peter Pan and the work of her late great father, the brilliant Adolph Green & Betty Comden.

He is considered one of the greatest composers in the history of American musical theatre.

He has composed legendary hits such as “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “The Party’s Over,” “Let It Snow!,” “People,” “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and Oscar-winning “Three Coins in the Fountain.” Jule Styne was elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Theater Hall of Fame and is a Kennedy Center Honoree.

JEROME ROBBINS (Original Director and Choreographer) (1918—1998) is world renowned as a choreographer of ballets is world renowned for his work as a choreographer of ballets, as well as his work as a choreographer/director in theater, movies, and television.
