It looks like original Glee star Matthew Morrison is leaving Broadway to return to TV once again. According to the latest gossip news updates, the Finding Neverland lead will be leaving the production, shortly after Kelsey Grammer returns, to head off to join The Good Wife. Although the loss of Morrison's name from the production could be viewed as a setback, On the Town Tony Award nominee Tony Yazbeck should have no problem handling his own when he takes over for Morrison January 26.
It seems that one year on Broadway is more than enough for Finding Neverland lead Matthew Morrison, who is once again taking a role on network television.
Despite the success of his current musical, Deadline reports, that the former Glee star is going to be taking a recurring role in CBS' The Good Wife:
"Morrison will be playing Connor Fox, the AUSA responsible for imprisoning the last four Illinois Governors.
"He's tough, smart, and won't take a bribe, which makes him bad news for the Florricks."
While Tony Yazbeck is set to take over for Matthew after his final January 24, performance, the sitcom actor will all but miss the Kelsey Grammer's return now, as Broadway.com reveals, it has been pushed back until the 19th:
"The Emmy winner will now land in the production on January 15, 2016 (instead of January 19) and remain at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre through February 21 (instead of February 28)."
What do you think of Matthew Morrison's rejecting the lead in a popular Broadway musical to return to network television?
Is the Glee star wasting his talent going back to a show like The Good Wife?
