About this musical, Sw_Anand_Deepen wrote:

Before Peter Pan, I wrote a musical for the Ashram kids, "Alice in Orange Land" that was played in the school on Boat Club Road. But I don't think it was ever recorded. The idea of creating Peter Pan came out of it.

After Peter Pan, I was asked to replace Sw Prem Vandan on keyboards, for a musical - I forgot it's name - that was also played in the ashram. I don't know if there is a record of it.

Just after Bhagwan left for USA, I played with Swami Somesh and other musicians for Satsang for about 2 months. Some pieces were my compositions. I think this was recorded on tapes, but I don't have them. The Dutch Swamis (?) that played oboe and clarinet in Peter Pan also played with us. It sounded beautiful. I had a magnificent grand piano.

and:

Yes, the kids were so good. Great singers and great actors. I am sorry I don't remember their names. I wish we had a video of the full show, they were so beautiful !

Unfortunately everything was recorded with one mike, and in many places the voices are not loud enough.

A few years later, I came to Oregon for a festival, and I heard some kids that I didn't know sing "we are the pirates". I was very touched.

For me, it was a great blessing that Bhagwan asked me to write that music.
