Auditionees will need to prepare a song from the show, and will need to participate in a dance audition. They will also need to read from the script. All auditions are by appointment only.
Rehearsals will be from 7-9:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 2-6 p.m. Sundays. Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays March 8 through 23, as well as a show 10 a.m. March 14.
| Wendy (13-18, soprano) | On the verge of adolescence, Wendy is conflicted by her desire to grow up and her fears about the unknown aspects of adulthood. She is a very pleasant and charming girl who takes on the role of "mother" to the Lost Boys. Meeting Peter awakens romantic feelings within her and she is forced to reconcile the various facets of her emerging womanhood. |
| Captain Hook (20s-50s, baritone) | Outwardly, Hook is a classic villain. However, underneath this delightfully evil exterior lies a weak, washed up coward who hides behind an unemotional and controlling façade. Hook is Peter's nemesis and detests Peter's confidence and natural charisma. |
| Mr. Darling (40s-50s) | A stern and unimaginative but loving father. This role is a wonderful opportunity for a featured acting role with no singing ability required. This role may be doubled with a pirate. |
| John Darling (10-14, Tenor) | John is the loyal, bookish middle child of the Darling family. He has always dreamed of being in a big adventure. |
| Michael Darling (6-10, Tenor) | The youngest Darling child. He is a sweet, bubbly, and likeable boy who is full of fun. |
| Tiger Lily (13-18, Mezzo) | The beautiful princess of the Indian tribe. Tiger Lily is brave, "coquettish, cold, and amorous by turns."Actor must be a skilled dancer. |
| Smee (40s-60s, Baritone/Tenor) | Smee is Captain Hook's right hand man. He is a jovial, simple, and loveable sidekick. He is a comedic character in direct contrast to Hook in appearance and physical stature. We will consider women for this role, but it must be played on stage as a male. |
| Liza (30s-40s) | The pleasant Darling family maid. She travels to Neverland, and represents the ability to grow up and still maintain a youthful spirit. The actor playing Liza must be a skilled dancer. |
| Nana/Crocodile | These non-speaking roles will be played by actors who are agile and able to express animal emotions with their bodies. |
| Lost Boys (7-15) | The adventurous gang of misfit boys who have been abandoned by or have run away from their mothers. They live with Peter in Neverland and originally share his desire to never grow up. They are a group of distinct and unique personalities, including Tootles (the sweet one,) Slightly Soiled (the conceited one,) and Nibs (the cheerful one.) These strong personalities demand strong actors who are able to move and have stage presence and energy. All Lost Boys are male, but some can be played by girls. |
| Pirates (15 & up) | Captain Hook's henchmen. These men believe they are sinister and cunning, but are actually a comical band of buffoons. They are continuously out-smarted and out-maneuvered by the Lost Boys and resort to dance to spark their creative juices. The actors playing these roles need strong comedic timing. |
| Indians | The Indians are the featured dancers of the show. They must be very strong and agile dancers who can convey character and emotion through movement. Gymnastic ability a plus. |
| Neverland Animals | Must be very skilled dancers. Dancers must be agile and will need to express animal emotions with their bodies. |
Some of the above-mentioned roles, such as Wendy, John, and Michael, will be required to 'fly' via a harness system. These actors will need to select two people to maneuver them. These people must be able to attend all the tech rehearsals and all the performances. Peter Pan and Mrs. Darling have already been cast.
