Matthew Morrison Returns To Broadway

Morrison, who is best known for playing Mr. Shue on Fox musical dramedy Glee, will soon be heading back to Broadway after achieving fame on the small screen, reported Entertainment Weekly. Finding Neverland producer Harvey Weinstein announced Morrison's involvement in the musical on Monday.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to see Matthew returning to his Broadway roots and back to the role he created in our workshop,” Weinstein said in a statement. “He is wildly talented and a true leading man.”

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.
