On today's LIVE WITH KELLY AND MICHAEL, Matthew Morrison stopped by to talk about his new Broadway musical "Finding Neverland."

"I love this because this isn't Peter Pan. It's THE STORY BEHIND the story," shared Morrison. "It's a great history lesson but at the same time, it's this early 1900's societal thing mixed with this amazing pop score." Watch the appearance below!
