My daughter was part of stage crew at her high school at the time and she was blown away by the set. She would have loved to get the chance to go backstage, not to meet the cast, but the crew, she was so impressed. The most impressive part of the set was Captain Hook's ship. The way it came together, jutting over the stage, and was used as part of the dance routine was breathtaking.
The show follows the movie of the same name starring Johnny Depp which weaves reality with fantasy. It stayed very close to the movie and had some great musical performances.

Having not yet read the "Familiars", Stacey's first book, I am unable to compare the 2, however if "The Foundling" is anything to go by I am sure I will not be disappointed.
Stacey truly has a beautiful writing style that brings the pages to life and draws you in right from the start.
She splits the narrative between two Protagonists, Bess and Alexandra. The former is a headstrong young woman who becomes pregnant at a fairly young age and due to her poor status has to place her daughter in The Foundling Hospital. The latter being a seemingly unstable wealthy Widow, appearing to suffer from Agoraphobia although as the story unfolds I would steer more towards P.T.S.D.
Set in the Georgian era, this is a story of class divides and Motherhood and how Bess' daughter brings the women together.
I highly recommend this to anyone.
