Why do some people call it Never-Never Land?
In the movie it is only called Neverland. Why do some people add the extra "Never"?
Taking back IMDB message boards....one ignored Troll at a time.
I think that's what it is called in J.M. Barrie's version.
shareUm...no. In Barrie's original novel, it is referred to--at least initially--as "The Neverland".
I can't say (never having seen it) what they called it in the original stage play, but I do know it was called Never-Neverland in the Mary Martin musical.
Just one more thing I dislike about the MM version; I realize that may put me in a minority, but I never cared for that production. I suppose my suspension of disbelief is just as strong as that of the average fan of musicals, but I was never able to look at a middle-aged woman and believe that she was an adolescent boy. Of course, the only production I saw MM in was the televised one. Perhaps seeing it in a theater I would have found it more believable. (However, I did enjoy Cyril Ritchard as Mr. Darling/Captain Hook.)
