Well...if you read Jim's blog, he has mentioned Captain Hook (numerous times), 'gang members' & Obsidian, plus a benefit concert for Great Ormand Street Hospital.

Therefore, and even though Peter/Baal & Wendy have not been mentioned, I'm pretty sure the Peter Pan story is the basis for the musical, and Jim is adapting his 'Neverland' script?

Well...Jim says he is co-writing the book with Stephen Clarke, and it's gonna be full of his music & lyrics?

WTF? Pig and possibly Graveyard Shift will be in Bat but in totally different contexts to Batman? I can't see Jim using any music/lyrics from Tanz (or being allowed to).


> Also I think that this will probably Jim's last big opus,

Depends how well the show does? If it takes off like We Will Rock You/Mamma Mia, would love to see a film.
