Must be small in stature, athletic, not afraid of heights, and an excellent actor and singer who moves very well.
MRS. DARLING / GROWN-UP WENDY / MERMAID
Soprano. Mid 30’s – Early 40’s. MRS. DARLING: The family matriarch. Mrs. Darling’s pleasant strength and demeanor allows her to glide about gently and swiftly from task to task with motherly precision. GROWN-UP WENDY: Jane’s mother who fondly remembers her time with Peter Pan in Neverland, but knew that she must grow up. MERMAID: A feisty and dangerous creature on Marooner’s Rock. Must be an excellent actor and singer.
WENDY DARLING

JOHN DARLING
Male actor to play 10-13 year old male No taller than 5'2. A young man on the verge of adolescence. John is a proper, stuffy “know it all” who is well-mannered, kind, and has good intentions. He is ready for adventure with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. Must move well and not be afraid of heights.
MICHAEL DARLING
Male actor to play 7-9 year old male No taller than 4'8. The youngest Darling child. Michael is sweetly innocent and lovingly huggable. He has a natural charm and endures spurts of energy. Must move well and not be afraid of heights.
MR. DARLING / CAPTAIN HOOK
High Baritone. 40’s. MR. DARLING: The children’s grouchy and distant father. Although Mr. Darling runs a tight ship, it is evident that he loves his children, even if he seems rather distracted and self-important. CAPTAIN HOOK: The one-handed captain of the Jolly Roger. Hook is relentless and restless in his pursuit of Peter Pan. He is a larger than life villain, but he is also short-fused and ridiculous. Must be an excellent singer and actor/comedian who moves well.
LIZA / TIGER LILY
Mezzo. 20’s. LIZA: The Darling’s efficient and proper housekeeper. TIGER LILY: A striking and commanding Indian Princess. She begins as one of Peter’s foils, but teams up with him to battle the pirates. Tiger Lily is fearless with an “other world” quality and a spunky, childlike sense of adventure. Must be an excellent dancer.
CURLY
Ensemble singing. Male or tomboy female actor to play a teenage male. A Lost Boy who loves to hear Peter’s fairy tales and fantasizes that his mother was like a storybook princess. Must move very well; acro/tumbling is a plus.
TWINS 1 and 2
Ensemble singing. Male or tomboy female actors to play teenage males. A pair of Lost Boys. The twins think alike and often talk simultaneously. Must move very well; acro/tumbling is a plus.
SLIGHTLY
Ensemble singing. Male actor to play a teenager. The would-be captain of the Lost Boys. Slightly is the only one who remembers his mother and does so fondly. He claims to be fearless, but is also easily startled. Must move very well; acro/tumbling is a plus.
TOOTLES / JANE
Ensemble singing. Tomboy female actor to play a teenage male. TOOTLES: A young Lost Boy who often looks to please Peter. Tootles is afraid he has disappointed Peter when he shoots down Wendy. JANE: Wendy’s daughter who has heard of Peter Pan while growing up and longs to fly to Neverland like her mother once did. Must move very well; acro/tumbling is a plus.
SMEE
Tenor. Mid 30’s – 40’s. Captain Hook’s eccentric sidekick. Although Smee is naturally quirky and not “all there”, none of his peculiarities are put-on or schticky. Must be physically small enough for Hook to push around, and be comfortable with physical comedy. Must move well.
