Neil Patrick Harris will take to the Broadway stage as a special guest star in Peter Pan Goes Wrong, producers announced today.
Harris will appear in the comedy from Tuesday, April 11 through Sunday, April 30. He will appear in the role of Francis, a member of the ‘Cornley Drama Society’ who portrays The Narrator and others in play-within-the-play Peter Pan. “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 Harris in a statement. “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. Other guest stars will appear occasionally, sometimes unannounced, throughout the run.
