TONY® AND EMMY® AWARD-WINNER
NEIL PATRICK HARRIS
Joins the company of
As a Special Guest Star
Tuesday, April 11 – Sunday, April 30
at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre
Broadway’s Peter Pan Goes Wrong is thrilled to welcome Tony® and Emmy® Award-winner Neil Patrick Harris to the company as a special guest star for performances from Tuesday, April 11 through Sunday, April 30. Harris will appear in the role of Francis.
“I’m a massive fan of Team Mischief and physical comedy in general, so I jumped (fell?) at the chance to join their genius onstage,” said Neil Patrick Harris. “That said, the role of the Narrator mostly sits in a chair and reads a book, so apparently no rehearsals are required. I guess that’s fine… what could possibly go wrong?”
Harris will not perform on Friday, April 21 and the Saturday, April 22 matinee performance.
Harris is the first special guest star for the Broadway engagement of Peter Pan Goes Wrong. Guest stars will appear occasionally, and sometimes surprisingly, throughout the run. Future guests will be announced at a later time.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the international sensation from Mischief, is now in previews and opens on Wednesday, April 19th at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre (243 West 47th Street) on Broadway for a limited 16 ½ week engagement.
Known for iconic roles such as Barney Stinson in “How I Met Your Mother” and Count Olaf in the Netflix adaptation of “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” Neil Patrick Harris is a five-time Emmy Award® -winner, with notable guest appearances on such shows as “American Horror Story” and “Glee.” Among many theatrical credits, he won a Tony Award® for his performance as Hedwig in the Broadway production of Hedwig and The Angry Inch. He’s served as a beloved host of the Tony Awards, the Primetime Emmys, and the Academy
Awards, is the author of the New York Times bestselling fiction series, The Magic Misfits, and most recently produced and starred in the Netflix comedy series “Uncoupled.” This year, Neil will be joining the cast of BBC’s 60th Anniversary “Dr. Who,” producing Hulu’s upcoming competition “Drag Me To Dinner,” and lamenting his ineptitude at parenting twin pre-teen children
The cast of Peter Pan Goes Wrong features Bartley Booz as Dennis (now through April 9), Matthew Cavendish as Max, Bianca Horn as Gill, Harry Kershaw as Francis, Chris Leask as Trevor, Henry Lewis as Robert, Ellie Morris as Lucy, Charlie Russell as Sandra, Jonathan Sayer as Dennis (starting April 11), Henry Shields as Chris, Greg Tannahill as Jonathan, and Nancy Zamit as Annie. The company is completed by Ryan Vincent Anderson, Stephen James Anthony, Fred Gray, and Brenann Stacker.
Brace yourself for an awfully big adventure as you finally get the chance to laugh again on Broadway. Cowritten by Mischief company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a highly physical comedy packed with finely tuned and inspired slapstick, delivered with split-second timing and ambitious daring. The play sees the ‘Cornley Drama Society’ back on stage battling technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes as they attempt to present J.M Barrie’s much-loved tale. But will they
ever make it to Neverland?
Peter Pan Goes Wrong is directed by Adam Meggido, with set designs by Simon Scullion, costumes by Roberto Surace, lighting by Matt Haskins, sound by Ella Wahlström, original music by Richard Baker and Rob Falconer and wig/hair & make-up design by Tommy Kurzman.
