On Twitter, Finding Neverland had this to say @NeverlandBway:

"What a wonderful first day of rehearsal for #FindingNeverland! We can't wait to begin performances this spring!"

FINDING NEVERLAND, set to soar into the Lunt-Fontanne Theater this spring, started rehearsals today under the visionary direction of Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus. Performances of the musical begin Sunday, March 15, followed by an official opening night slated for Wednesday, April 15, 2015.

The cast is led by Matthew Morrison ("Glee," South Pacific), Kelsey Grammer ("Frasier," La Cage aux Folles), Laura Michelle Kelly (Mary Poppins) and Carolee Carmello (Parade).

Based on the Academy Award-winning Miramax motion picture by David Magee, and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee, Finding Neverland follows the relationship between playwright J. M. Barrie and the family that inspired Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up - one of the most beloved stories of all time. With book by Olivier Award-nominee James Graham, music and lyrics by Gary Barlow (Take That) and Grammy Award-winner Eliot Kennedy, choreography by Emmy Award-winner Mia Michaels ("So You Think You Can Dance," Cirque du Soleil's Delirium), this new musical, packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs, is a timeless story about the power of imagination... and spectacular proof that you never really have to grow up.
