CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Peter Pan
(Male or Female)
Peter Pan is a boy without a care in the world. We are looking for the student who can play this role the best. We would prefer to cast a boy in this role, but we will cast whoever brings the best character to the auditions.
This role is for an actor with a soaring can-do spirit who most certainly “won’t grow up!”we are looking for someone who can do it all: act, sing, and be as physical as the part demands.
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: F3
Captain Hook
(Male or Female)
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. We are looking for a strong actor who can make bold choices.
Smee
(Male or Female)
Smee is Captain Hook’s sidekick who wants nothing more than to see Captain Hook succeed in his evil plotting. We are looking for a performer who is a solid actor and a great complement for Captain Hook and must not be afraid to earn laughs on stage.
Wendy Darling
(Female)
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 warm presence and great singing voice.

John Darling
(Male)
John is the middle Darling child and has an amicable and open presence. A little more proper than his younger brother, we are looking for a good actor and singer who is the perfect complement to his siblings.

Michael Darling
(Preferably Male, but willing to play a girls as a boy)
Michael is the youngest Darling boy and seems to have unlimited energy. WE are looking for a good actor who can easily portray the youngest and most stubborn of the Darling children. If you also possess a terribly cute disposition, that’s perfect!

Mrs. Darling
(Female)
Mrs. Darling is the mother of Wendy, John and Michael, and she is the perfect picture of a mother. We look to cast a young lady who reads onstage as an older character and is experienced in acting and singing. This actress will most likely have a second role in Neverland.

Mr. Darling
(Male)
Mr. Darling is the father of Wendy, John and Michael, and he is a man with one concern: keeping his house in order. We look to cast a young man with an older presence who is a perfect complement to Mrs. Darling. Not a singing role and will most likely play a Neverland role as well.
Tiger Lily
(Female)
Tiger Lily is the fearless leader of the Brave Girls. We want to cast a young lady who can command the stage and is a good actor, singer and mover.

This is a non-speaking role therefore we are looking to cast an incredible actress! We would also like Tinkerbell to have proficient dance ability. Does not sing.
The Lost Boys
(Male, although we may cast a few females but they will play boys)
The Lost Boys are a group of lads who live in Neverland without a care in the world! We are looking for advanced performers (and good singers) in the roles of Nibs, Slightly, Curley, Tootles, Twin #1 and Twin # 2.

The Pirates
(Male or Female)
The Pirates are a gaggle of villains who are looking to cause some trouble. We are looking for 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 are great cameo roles for young performers to make strong acting choices.
The following Pirates have speaking lines but no singing lines:
Cecco
Starkey
Noodles
Flower Fairies
(Female)
The flower fairies are Tinkerbell's friends. They do not speak or sing, but they MUST be able to DANCE and act. This group of performers will be our featured dancers.
Brave Girls
(Female)
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. We are looking to cast a group of young ladies who are proficient movers as well as competent singers.

Liza
(Female)
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.
Nana
(Male or Female)
Nana is a dog. We are looking to cast 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.
Crocodile
(Male or Female)
Like Nana, the Crocodile is a silent part for a young performer who can take a leap and become the wickedest beast that ever was! We are looking for a performer who can fill the role with life and great presence.
