Peter Pan is a boy without a care in the world. Although the role was originally written for and cast as a female, we will see auditions of any gender. Whether a boy or girl, it’s a MUST that our Peter Pan have a soaring can-do spirit and be able to sing in the high range intended. Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: F3
Wendy is the eldest of the Darling children and has a certain maternal quality. Wendy is very bright, ever-practical and ready for an adventure! We are looking for a young lady with a warm presence and great singing voice. Vocal range top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
John is the middle Darling child and has an amicable and open presence. A little more proper than his younger brother, we’re looking for a good actor and singer who is the perfect complement to his siblings. Vocal range top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
Michael is the youngest Darling boy and seems to have unlimited energy. We need a good actor who can easily portray the youngest and most stubborn of the Darling children. And if that actor also possesses a terribly cute disposition, that’s perfect! Vocal range top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
Nana is a dog, but we’d like a young performer who is unafraid to jump in and play this iconic part of the story. This performer should have a knack for physicality and be comfortable making bold acting choices.
Mrs. Darling is the mother of Wendy, John and Michael, and she is the perfect picture of a mother. Are you a young lady who reads onstage as an older character and is experienced in acting and singing? This may be the part for you! Vocal range top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
Mr. Darling is the father of Wendy, John and Michael, and he is a man with one concern: keeping his house in order. We will cast a young man with an older presence who is a perfect complement to Mrs. Darling.
Liza is the Darling’s housekeeper who always seems to be in a bit of a frenzy as she tries to keep everyone pleased. This is a great cameo role for a young woman who can make strong character choices.
Tiger Lily is the fearless leader of the Brave Girls. We will cast a young lady who can command the stage and is a good actor, singer and mover. Vocal range top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
The Brave Girls, including Brave Girl #1, Brave Girl #2 and Small Brave Girl, are a group of Neverland inhabitants. They are a fun bunch of girls who are as strong as they are kind, a group of young ladies who are proficient movers as well as competent singers. Vocal range top: Db5 Vocal range bottom: Ab3
The Pirates are a gaggle of villains who are looking to cause some trouble. We will cast a group of young performers, male, female or both that can act, move well, and aren’t afraid to sing! Noodles, Cecco, and Starkey are all great cameo roles for young performers to make strong acting choices.
Captain Hook, the leader of the Pirates, has a bone to pick… or rather a Peter Pan to hook! This is the perfect role for a young performer who can sing and act, but above all, has great comedic timing. Though Captain Hook is the villain of the show, he’s also a bit of a clown who just can’t seem to get what he wants. He has to be as treacherous to the Lost Boys as he is a complete wimp around the Crocodile. Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: B3
Smee is Captain Hook’s sidekick who wants nothing more than to see Captain Hook succeed in his evil plotting. We will cast a young performer who is a solid actor and a great complement for Captain Hook.
Like Nana, the Crocodile is a non-speaking part for a young performer who can take a leap and become the wickedest beast that ever was! We need a performer who can fill the role with life and great presence.
