FINDING NEVERLAND is Broadway's biggest new hit and the winner of Broadway.com's Audience Choice Award for BEST MUSICAL! This breathtaking smash "captures the kid-at-heart" (Time Magazine). Vogue cheers, "it's a must-see you'll remember for years to come!"

Directed by visionary Tony winner Diane Paulus, FINDING NEVERLAND tells the incredible story behind one of the world's most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four Young Brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys' enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie's classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. FINDING NEVERLAND is "far and away the best musical of the year!" (NPR).

FINDING NEVERLAND is produced on Broadway by Academy Award winner Harvey Weinstein, based on his Academy Award winning film FINDING NVERLAND.

President of Shea's Anthony Conte said, "On behalf of Shea's Board and staff, I would like to thank our subscribers, donors, volunteers, sponsors, and the entire Buffalo-Niagara community for the tremendous support given Shea's over the years. This support along with new tax credit legislation passed in Albany has resulted in our first opportunity to launch a major National Tour in Buffalo. The launch will create substantial economic impact for the Buffalo Niagara Region. We look forward to opening another great season in 2016-17 with the October launching of FINDING NEVERLAND."

Co-Presenter of Broadway productions at Shea's for 29 years and Producer Albert Nocciolino expressed his excitement, "We're very excited to be able to launch the FINDING NEVERLAND National Tour right here in Buffalo at Shea's! We thank our subscribers for their support over the years in helping us become one of the top one-week subscription markets in the country and look forward to another spectacular Broadway Season," he said.

FINDING NEVERLAND is presented by Shea's Performing Arts Center and Albert Nocciolino and is sponsored locally by M&T Bank, The Buffalo News, and WKBW-TV.
