1. Peter Pan – Age – 15 -25 (Male) (Singer) – Peter Pan is the boy who refuses to grow up. He is brave and heroic but often childish and stubborn. He is innocent as he is childlike and does not understand responsibility and adult things. He is confident almost arrogant about how great an adventurer he is.
2. Nanny Mc Smee (Male/female) (Singer) – Smee’s Mother and a new recruit to the crew of the Jolly Roger. She is an over the top Scottish Nanny figure, not unlike Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire but a bit more confident and in your face.
3. Smee – (Male) – Smee in this production is an energetic funny young pirate. Very friendly and interactive with the audience and his mother. Comedy gold. He is Captain Hook’s first mate He should have good comedy timing and be able to play to the audience also.
4. Tiger Lily – (Female) – Tiger Lily is described as a beautiful princess of the “Whatsittoya” tribe. Tiger Lily is in fact a strong, loud, in your face type character. She is a very funny character. This actress must have great comedy timing and be able to interact well with the audience and will form part of a comedy treble with Smee and Nanny Mc Smee.
5. Captain James Hook – (Male) (Singer) – Hook is a vengeful pirate who lives only to kill Peter Pan! Hook is a well-educated English gentleman and despite being a pirate is obsessed with “good form” he is still temperamental and a bit childish at times. He is terrified of Crocodiles as one once ate his hand after Peter Pan had cut it off in a fight.
6. Tinker-Bell – (Female) (Singer) – Tinker-Bell is a fairy, she is pretty, preferably blonde by hair colour and by nature. She is “like so totally a fairy, ya?” American, a bit ditzy, very sarcastic and very obsessed with her image and looks.
7. The Fairy Catcher – (Male/Female) – A very evil and creepy character not unlike the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Facial expressions and body language a huge part of creating this scary character. He/she is hired by Hook to capture Tinkerbell. Should make your skin crawl.
8. Wendy Darling – Age 20+ (Female) (Singer) – Wendy is a well raised English lady, she is very proper and polite and speaks with a well formed English accent.
