Finding Neverland the musical is based off of Allan Knee’s play The Man Who Was Peter Pan, as well as the 2004 Finding Neverland movie that starred Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. Morrison first played the part of J.M. Barrie when the Finding Neverland musical was being workshopped back in February. When it started its run at the American Repertory Theatre, Jeremy Jordon took over in the part.
Morrison's past Broadway credits include Footloose, The Rocky Horror Show, Hairspray and South Pacific.
