Actresses Laura Michelle Kelly and Carolee Carmello, currently star in Broadway show FINDING NEVERLAND, stopped by this morning's 'Today' and tell Kathie Lee and Hoda that the musical is all about overcoming challenges
It was announced today that Jennifer Lopez, Nick Jonas and Kiesza will introduce Broadway's new smash-hit musical, Finding Neverland, at the 69th Annual Tony Awards. The cast of Finding Neverland, led by Matthew Morrison and Kelsey Grammer, will perform the empowering Act 1 finale 'Stronger' during the biggest celebration of Broadway this Sunday, June 7 on CBS.
Artistic Director Josie Rourke said: One of the things that most excites me about this season is the strong leading roles for women. It is a thrill to announce a season of work that features, in plays by living writers, women of the calibre and power of Zawe Ashton, Sinead Cusack, Michelle Dockery, Michelle Fairley, Genevive O'Reilly and Janet McTeer, who returns to the Donmar and the London stage. This, combined with the transfer of Phyllida Lloyd's second instalment in her trilogy of all-female Shakespeares to New York shows a programme of work in deep conversation with the lives of women and their status as actors on our stage. We continue our commitment to bringing topical and searing new plays to the Donmar with the British premiere of Christopher Shinn's Teddy Ferrara. I am particularly delighted that Dominic Cooke is returning to theatre and to his long-standing collaboration with Christopher Shinn to direct this production. On a personal note, I have long wanted to direct Christopher Hampton's superb Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and the cast we have drawn together is a testament to the brilliance of his play. As well as welcoming Janet McTeer back to the Donmar, I am thrilled that Dominic West will return to our stage in this production.
