Producer Harvey Weinstein and director Diane Paulus announced today that Finding Neverland will open on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 8, 2015. This announcement comes on the heels of Finding Neverland's sold-out, world-premiere engagement at the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University, which ended yesterday. The production began previews at the Loeb Drama Center on Wednesday, July 23, and ran for a total of 75 performances - all of which played to capacity crowds, making it the highest attended and highest grossing production in A.R.T.'s 34-year history. Finding Neverland will begin preview performances on Broadway in March, 2015. Casting will be announced shortly.

"I am so grateful to A.R.T. and its audiences for providing the perfect environment to incubate this new musical," Mr. Weinstein said. "We are excited to continue the work and bring the musical to Broadway audiences this spring. I know that the Lunt-Fontanne, which has housed so many memorable productions, will be the ideal home for Finding Neverland."

Based on the Miramax motion picture by David Magee and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan byAllan Knee, Finding Neverland follows the relationship between playwright J. M. Barrie and the familythat inspired Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up - one of the most beloved stories of all time.
