46 Peter Pan Poisoned? Poisoned? Oh, Tink, you did it to save me. There is a fainter jingle Tink, Tink, don’t die. Please Tink. Oh, Tink. Why, why? (addressing the audience) Her light is growing faint. If it goes out, it means she is … dead. There is a very faint jingle What? Believe? Believe in what? Tinker Bell? (he begins to cry) Of course I believe in fairies! Yes, yes … the others believe in fairies, too, Tink ― they must ― they will ― they do. Then you’ll be well. Tink jingles Don’t worry, Tink, we’ll fight the poison ― they believe, I know they do. (in desperation he turns to the audience) (singing through his tears) I appeal to all the children To every one of you Say you believe in fairies It’s the least that you can do I’m waiting for your answer A clap, a shout, a cry Don’t let me down, everyone Don’t let my Tinker Bell die … (with great feeling) Music 28: You’ve Gotta Believe Chorus You’ve gotta believe, you’ve gotta believe Oh, say you believe in fairies I’m sure you believe, I know you believe Tell me you believe in fairies. You’ve gotta believe, you’ve gotta believe Oh, say you believe in fairies I’m sure you believe, I know you believe Tell me you believe in fairies. Peter buries his head in his hands as the music continues. He looks towards Tinker Bell whose light, by now, is very dim (speaking through his tears) Tink … Tink … please live … you … you must … they all believe … you’ll see … don’t die … Tink!
Act I, Scene 1 47 A recording “click-track” adds to the Orchestra as the instrumental verse comes to its end. Peter brushes the tears from his face. Then desperately but resolutely, he walks to the front of the stage, where he addresses the members of the audience Everyone! Listen to me. Tinker Bell is dying. And all of you children here are the only ones who can save her. And the only way you can save her is if you tell her you BELIEVE IN FAIRIES. So I’m asking you now (his voice becomes choked as he cries out) DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES? The children in the audience are encouraged to shout back that “yes” they do believe in fairies WHAT? Tinker Bell can’t hear you? You’re going to have to shout louder, or she’s going to die. Don’t let her die! We can save her! COME ON! AGAIN! DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES? The children in the audience are encouraged to shout more loudly that they do believe in fairies And all the grown-up children; do YOU believe in fairies? The adults in the audience are also encouraged to shout that “yes” they do believe in fairies Tinker Bell’s light begins to shine a little brighter, but she is still far from well The distant recorded sounds of clapping and children’s voices shouting and cheering are heard from the speakers at the front and back of the theatre. As the music builds, the sounds of the recorded children also become louder (more confidently) If you believe in fairies, STAND UP! STAND UP AND CLAP. (he begins to clap above his head in time to the music as it crescendos) Yes! Yes! Clap! And stamp your feet. Mothers and Fathers too. And all smaller children, climb on to your Fathers’ shoulders where Tinker Bell can see you. EVERYONE stand and clap and stamp your feet! THAT’S RIGHT; COME ON! WE CAN SAVE HER!! The orchestra, the recorded “click-track” and the recorded children blend with the furore of the audience stamping and clapping. Tinker Bell’s light slowly becomes brighter and brighter (more excited; happier and happier and maybe weeping tears of joy) It’s working! It’s working! Don’t stop clapping! Tink is getting better! Come on, Tink! You can do it! Peter continues ad libbing, while a recording of children singing is heard over the audience clapping Children (singing, recording whilst the audience claps) Yes, we believe, yes, we believe Oh we believe in fairies We’re sure we believe, we know we believe Oh, yes we believe in fairies. Yes, we believe, yes, we believe
