Kelsey Grammer & Laura Michelle Kelly Tapped for Finding Neverland on Broadway

Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer and Olivier winner Laura Michelle Kelly will star opposite the previously announced Matthew Morrison in Broadway's Finding Neverland, The new musical, directed by Tony winner Diane Paulus, features music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham. It will begin previews on March 15, 2015 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Opening night is set for April 15. A production spokesperson told Broadway.com that an official announcement will be made on The Today Show on November 13.

Grammer will play Charles Frohman. He most recently appeared on Broadway in La Cage Aux Folles, earning a Tony nomination for his performance as Georges. His additional Great White Way credits include Macbeth and Othello. He won four Emmy Awards for his performance as the titular radio psychiatrist in the long-running hit series Frasier. Kelly will reprise her role as Sylvia Llewelyn Davis—she played the part in the recent American Repertory Theater production. She took home an Olivier Award for the title role in the West End's Mary Poppins—a performance she later reprised on Broadway. Kelly has also appeared on the Great White Way in Fiddler on the Roof and on the London stage in Speed the Plow, Les Miserables and Peter Pan.

Based on the 2004 film written by David Magee, Finding Neverland follows the story of J.M. Barrie (Morrison) and his relationship with the family of widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. Llewelyn Davies' children eventually became Barrie's inspiration to write Peter Pan.

The Harvey Weinstein-produced musical overhauled its creative team in 2013, bringing on board Paulus, Barlow and Graham.
