Three-Time Tony Nominee Is Finding Neverland's New Hook | Playbill

News Three-Time Tony Nominee Is Finding Neverland's New Hook Three-time Tony Award-nominated actor Terrence Mann has been announced to take over the role of Captain Hook in the Broadway production of Finding Neverland. He succeeds Australian musical theatre star Anthony Warlow in the role beginning Sept. 29.

Emmy Award winner Kelsey Grammer originated the role of Hook when the musical arrived on Broadway this past spring. Grammer was announced for a summer hiatus from the production, with plans for the actor to return in mid-September. Representatives for the production announced Sept. 18 that Mann, a veteran of Pippin, Les Misérables, Cats and more, would be the show's new villain. He portrays the dual roles of producer Charles Frohman and the fantastical Captain Hook.

Warlow will play his final performance Sept. 27. It is expected that Grammer will return to the production at a later date to be announced.

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," according to press notes.

Finding Neverland features direction by Paulus (Pippin, Hair) with a book by Olivier Award nominee James Graham, music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Grammy Award winner Eliot Kennedy, and choreography by Emmy Award winner Mia Michaels ("So You Think You Can Dance").

The production features scenic design by Tony Award winner Scott Pask (Pippin, Book of Mormon), lighting design by Tony Award winner Kenneth Posner (The Coast of Utopia, Pippin), costume design by Suttirat Larlarb (Of Mice and Men) and sound design by Tony Award nominee Jonathan Deans (Pippin, La Cage aux Folles).
