Barrie: Welcome my friends
Glad you could join me on this most auspicious day
I hope you'll forgive mistakes and errors
We're just getting underway
You may recognise some of the scenes
You all played a part
In sowing the seeds
'Cause there is magic in the imagination
Just believe and it can be a creation
The stories we invented
All the fun that we found
Appearing here before your eyes
The world is upside down
Miss Bassett: Our characters
Miss Jones: Nibs and Tootles...?
Miss Bassett: What is their movitation?
Because you see, I have to live and breathe my part, drawing from my own life experience...
Barrie: Nibs is a Lost Boy.
Miss Bassett: Lost, good, interesting.
Miss Jones: Yes...
Miss Bassett: That I can use
Miss Jones: Good, right.
Miss Bassett: Is he lost in an emotional purgatory?
...or lost in an existential search for himself!
Miss Jones: Yes!
Barrie: No, he's just lost
Miss Bassett: Good heavens!
Where, when, and how?
Barrie: Do you have experience being lost?
Miss Bassett and Miss Jones: We're experiencing it now
Mr. Henshaw: Dogs!
Miss Potter: Boys!
Mr. Cromer: Flying!
Miss Bassett: Lost!
Frohman: So...
Actors: Frustration!
Barrie and Boys: Believe and it can
Actors: NO!
Barrie and Boys: Be a creation
Miss Bassett: Actors don't fly
Mr. Cromer: Because actors could die!
Boys: Start by saying I can do
And then you could try!
Miss Jones: I can't!
Miss Potter: I won't!
Mr. Turpin: Not me!
Actors: There is no magic in your imagination
I do not believe in your new creation
This disaster is all due to your play
This could be my last first day
Mr. Cromer: Nauseous!
Miss Potter: Anxious...
Mr. Henshaw: My reputation!
Miss Bassett and Miss Jones: Playing lost?
Actors: Get lost!
Serious actors cannot work this way!
Frohman: A positive start!
Actors: The world is upside down!
