No, not really. Times headline mischaracterizes it.

In reply to: Wait, Leonard Bernstein Wrote a ‘Peter Pan’ Musical? - Mike 07:27 am EDT 06/26/18

As noted by others below and even in the article itself, Bernstein wrote were some songs, far from a full score for a musical (and none of the songs were for Peter) and some incidental music, and Trude Rittman made contributions to the music as well (which I think is not noted in the article, but Times articles are now difficult for me to read, even though I'm a subscriber).

If you do buy the more recent recording, the booklet has major errors regarding the history of the piece.

It also note two choral numbers - Pirate Song and Plank Round. Also referenced is Captain Hook's Soliloquy, per the book written for the road company but unperformed until the revue By Bernstein in 1975.

I can't tell if you're just adding info or if you're also suggesting that perhaps it is a musical.
