British theater star Alfie Boe — who will end his run on Broadway as Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables” this month — will be stepping into the starring role of “Finding Neverland,” sources tell Page Six.
Boe will play “Peter Pan” creator J.M. Barrie, replacing Tony Yazbeck, and he will then open the show in London’s West End in January of next year.
Boe — who made his Broadway debut for Baz Luhrmann in “La Bohème” in 2002 — has played Valjean at London’s O2 Arena and was in the original West End production of “Les Miz.”
“Glee” star Matthew Morrison left “Finding Neverland” as Barrie in January, when Yazbeck took over. Kelsey Grammer’s in the show through March 26 as Captain Hook.
