Based on J.M. Barrie's classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time.

This high-flying Tony Award-winning musical has been performed around the world and delighted audiences for 60 years.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Regardless of age, performers interested in “child” or “teen” roles must be visually able to portray their respective ages. The Darling children must visually portray as Michael (youngest), John (middle), and Wendy (oldest).
Wendy Darling
The eldest Darling child. Wendy is compassionate, incredibly loving, and very protective of her younger brothers. She is the child every parent wishes they had.
