Not a pan and not a review

- As others have pointed out in this thread, this is not at all a pan. Nor is it a review. In fact, the Times labels Ben Brantley’s comments as “Critic’s Notebook” and not as a “Theater Review” which is the label attached to all actual reviews in the paper. It may not be his kind of show, but Mr. Brantley acknowledges that Finding Neverland has good commercial prospects on Broadway along the lines of “Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s Aladdin and the all-mighty The Lion King.” And, we must not forget the likely lift this musical will get at the box office from NBC’s live telecast of Peter Pan on December 4 even if it’s not the ratings champ as last years Sound of Music. -
