Finding Neverland star Laura Michelle Kelly and songwriter Gary Barlow will perform a selection from the new Broadway musical on the Thanksgiving-morning edition of ABC's Good Morning America at 8:30am EST. The concert will kick-off a multi-part GMA series that leads up to the show's opening at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 15.

Featuring a score by 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. Directed by Pippin Tony winner Diane Paulus, the production begins Broadway performances March 15, 2015 after a run last summer at American Repertory Theater in Massachusetts.

Kelly takes on the role of Sylvia, with the previously announced Matthew Morrison as J.M. Barrie, Kelsey Grammer as Charles Frohman, and Carolee Carmello as Madame Du Maurier. A full cast list will be revealed in the coming months.
