Kelsey Grammer to Join Alfie Boe for Finding Neverland's West End Bow

A couple Neverland stars have been tapped to shine bright on the West End. Kelsey Grammer, who originated the role of Charles Frohman in Finding Neverland, as well as Alfie Boe, who will begin Broadway performances as J.M. Barrie beginning March 29, will next headline the West End transfer, according to the Daily Mail. The Broadway.com Audience Choice Award-winning tuner is currently eyeing a January 2017 London bow.

Boe concluded his Broadway turn as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables on February 28. He made his Broadway debut as Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann’s La Boheme, for which he and his co-stars received a special Tony Award in 2003. He played the role of Valjean in the 25th Anniversary Concert at London’s O2 Arena in October 2010 and went on to lead the original West End production of the show. Grammer’s additional stage credits include La Cage Aux Folles, for which he earned a Tony nod, Macbeth and Othello. He is a four-time Emmy winner for Frasier.

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 Diane Paulus-helmed production opened on Broadway in spring 2015 following an out-of-town run at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Further information, including additional casting, exact dates and venue, will be announced at a later date.
