When Kelsey Grammer's return was announced in November, he said, "If one would say, I have found Neverland again, they would be correct. It is great to be back!"

Producer Harvey Weinstein added, "I'm sure I speak for the entire company in saying how much of a pleasure it is to welcome the brilliant and hilarious Kelsey Grammer back to Neverland." And Director Diane Paulus said, "Kelsey is a treasure of the American theater, and I am beyond thrilled that he will be back in Neverland with us."

Finding Neverland follows playwright J.M. Barrie as he summons the courage to become the writer - and the man - he yearns to be. Barrie finds the inspiration he's been missing when he meets the beautiful widow Sylvia and her four young sons: Jack, George, Michael and Peter. Delighted by the boys' hilarious escapades, Barrie conjures the magical world of Neverland and writes a play unlike any the high-society London theatergoers have ever seen. It's a tremendous risk, but as Barrie himself has discovered- when you believe, you can fly. Directed by Tony Award® winner Diane Paulus (Pippin , Hair), with music and lyrics by Gary Barlow (Take That) and Grammy® winner Eliot Kennedy, book by Olivier Award nominee James Graham, and choreography by Emmy Award®-winner Mia Michaels ("So You Think You Can Dance," Cirque du Soleil's Delirium), this new musical, packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs, is a timeless story about the power of imagination... and spectacular proof that you never really have to grow up.
