Staging & Choreography Suggestions
There are 45 speaking parts (plus essential non-speaking roles – Shadow and fairies, although the mermaids could double as the fairies).
Increasing the cast size
The speaking parts can easily be increased to 60 if you allow for six additional wild warriors and split the lines accordingly; seven additional pirates and split the lines accordingly; and two narrators. Have as many additional non-speaking pirates, warriors and fairies as you like to further increase the cast size.
Decreasing the cast size
The cast list can be reduced to 32 speaking parts by doing the following:
- Reduce number of Wild Warriors to five and reallocate lines accordingly
- Pirates 1-5’s lines could be taken instead by the named pirates in the play
- Liza and Mrs Darling could double up as mermaids
- Mr Darling could double up as the Chief
- One child could say the twins’ lines
- Two of the Lost Boys could double as the Shadow and the Ship’s Cook
(Total length of music: 38 minutes approx)
Songs with harmonies and part-singing:
- Tell Me A Story
- Don't Look Down
- Wendy House
- Pirates Of The Sea
