Tony Yazbeck Takes His First Bow in Broadway's Finding Neverland

On the Town Tony nominee Tony Yazbeck officially joined the company of Broadway's Finding Neverland on Tuesday, January 26, succeeding Matthew Morrison in the role of J.M. Barrie.

With a score by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham, Finding Neverland explores the friendship of playwright J.M. Barrie and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, a widowed mother whose four boys inspired the beloved Peter Pan stories. It is based on the 2004 film of the same title, which itself was based on Allan Knee's play The Man Who Was Peter Pan.

Directed by Diane Paulus, Finding Neverland opened April 15 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre after a 2014 tryout run at the American Repertory Theater. Original cast members Laura Michelle Kelly and Kelsey Grammer continue with the company as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and Charles Frohman/Captain Hook, respectively.
