New dates have been announced for Emmy winner and Tony nominee Kelsey Grammer's return engagement in Broadway's Finding Neverland.
Previously announced to return for a seven-week run from January 19-February 28, 2016, Grammer will now return to the roles of Charles Frohman and Captain Hook from January 15-February 21. The production's star Matthew Morrison will play his final performance on January 24.
Directed by Diane Paulus, Finding Neverland opened April 15 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre after a 2014 tryout run at the American Repertory Theater. Morrison leads the cast as J.M. Barrie, with Laura Michelle Kelly as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, and Carolee Carmello as Madame Du Maurier.
With a score by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham, Finding Neverland explores the friendship of playwright J.M. Barrie and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, a widowed mother whose four boys inspired the beloved Peter Pan stories. It is based on the 2004 film of the same title, which itself was based on Allan Knee's play The Man Who Was Peter Pan.
