Matthew Morrison Sets Departure Date From Finding Neverland on Broadway

Our worlds have been turned upside down! Matthew Morrison is scheduled to leave Broadway.com Audience Choice Award-winning new musical Finding Neverland on January 24, 2016. No word yet on who will be replacing him as J.M. Barrie, but there were rumors that mega-producer Harvey Weinstein was eyeing Chris Pine to step into the role. Kelsey Grammer is set to return to the tuner as Charles Frohman on January 19 for a limited engagement through February 28 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, taking over for Terrence Mann.

Directed by Diane Paulus and featuring a score by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham, Finding Neverland follows the story of J.M. Barrie and his relationship with the family of widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. Llewelyn Davies' children eventually became Barrie's inspiration to write Peter Pan.

The cast also currently includes Laura Michelle Kelly, Carolee Carmello and Teal Wicks.
