Club NVRLND

An immersive Peter Pan musical based around a tranche of early ’00s pop hits sounds like a great piece of Fringe fluff, especially in a relatively late night slot where audiences can let their hair down a bit. Will Club NVRLND actually be good as well? Certainly there’s good reason to hope: it’s written by Jack Holden, whose Cruise was solid and KENREX even better. And the plot isn’t just Peter Pan plus millenial bangers because lol: Holden’s thesis is that millennials are a generation of lost boys (and girls), unable to grow up because of a capricious and unfair world that prices them out of property, kids etc. In it, Wendy is on the cusp of marriage – but reunion with the eternal boy Peter Pan throws everything into a spin. It’s directed by Steven Kunis, with choreography from Ashley Nottingham.
