By: Nicole Rosky Aug. 25, 2015
Beginning tonight, August 25, So You Think You Can Dance- Season 10 winner Amy Yakima, joins the cast of Broadway's Finding Neverland as Peter Pan. Yakima replaces Melanie Moore (So You Think You Can Dance Winner- Season 8), who will soon star as Chava in Fiddler on the Roof. This marks Yakima's Broadway debut.
She posted a photo with Moore on Twitter with the following caption: "The passing of the Peter Pan torch! Good luck @D8Melanie on your new adventures!"
Based on the Academy Award-winning film of the same name, this breathtaking show 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.
Tony winner Diane Paulus (PIPPIN, HAIR) directs this innovative new musical featuring an original score by noted composer Gary Barlowand Grammy® winner Eliot Kennedy, with a book by CELEBRATED playwright James Graham and choreography by three-time Emmy winner Mia Michaels (SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?). Packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs, Finding Neverland is a timeless story about the power of imagination... and spectacular proof that you never really have to grow up.
