NEW YORK, N.Y. – Diane Paulus plans to make the Peter Pan musical “Finding Neverland” fly in Massachusetts.

The American Repertory Theater at Harvard University said Thursday the show will kick off its 2014-2015 season under Paulus’ direction. It’s based on the 2004 whimsical film that explored the creation of J.M. Barrie’s masterpiece “Peter Pan.”
