It seemed obvious to me that the show is in part about Barrie's creative struggle and his stasis as a writer. And him fitting in a restrictive society. The Hook number shows him overcoming an obstacle in his writing and confronting his darker side. To let go in his writing and his life. To me, the Hook number was one of the numbers that grew out of the book organically. I loved it. It may be true that the audience standing at the end could just be something that happens at the end of lots of shows. But at the two matinees I attended, the audience was very responsive to several of the numbers throughout the show. And Jeremy Jordan, Laura Michelle Kelly, Michael McGrath, and Carolee Carmello received a lot of enthusiastic applause throughout and they deserved it.
