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

Just brilliant.
We have just put on this show of Peter Pan with our Year 3 and 4s. The pupils absolutely loved it, great, catchy songs and fantastic script. We liked that we were able to group pupils into different characters and give them their own song. Lost Boys, Pirates (winner of a song), Mermaids and Warriors. Even able to give the Darling family a song as well. Easy to get costumes for, make props and scenery and we even had pupils flying over London on a green screen during the song 'Don't Look Down'. Can't wait to do it again in a few years.
Brilliant product students loved it
Brilliant. I work at a primary school and used this for the year 6 leavers show this year in july. The words on screen , the script and the CD and the songs were brilliant. Recommend 100 %
Full of magic from beginning to end
I just wanted to write to say thank you for the amazing work you've done on Peter Pan. We have performed most of your musicals over the last 15 years and have one performance (tonight) of Peter Pan left. It's been the most joyous one to perform, even beating Alice The Musical, which has been a long-held favourite. We have expanded the staging to include all 130 members of the school cast, for example, making the crocodile out of our Reception Class boys! The children have absolutely loved the songs and gobbled them up as quickly as we could introduce them, harmony parts and all. This is down to your amazing compositions which the children could access really easily and perform to a very high standard. They have also very much enjoyed the humour in the script and we've had no problem at all in getting lines learnt. The feedback from our first two shows has been phenomenal, which is particularly special for us having missed a Production last year and having had no singing in school for the whole covid period. So, from our whole school community, a huge thank you for bringing us this musical - it's been full of magic from beginning to end.
Brilliant Production!
I work at a British International school in China and we have been very fortunate here in China to be able to go back to relative normality and so were extremely happy to be able to put on this year's production of Peter Pan as planned. What an amazing production to welcome parents back into our campus with! Everyone enjoyed the songs (they are still fresh in my head weeks after) and the script was full of humour (though the jokes are very British). We had a cast of around 50 found the script easy to accommodate all the children. We had extra crocodiles that made one big crocodile, warriors, pirates, lost boys etc. It was such an enjoyable script to work with. Thank you!!
