TOOTLES – Tootles is described as the most unfortunate and humblest of the band, because "the big things" and adventures happen while "he has stepped round the corner." This however has not soured but sweetened his nature. He is the one who shoots Wendy with a bow and arrow after Tinker Bell tells them Wendy is a bird that Peter wants killed. When Tootles realises his mistake, he asks Peter to kill him. Wendy however survives, and Tootles is spared. Though he is clumsy and silly, Tootles is the first to defend Wendy when she wants to return to London. When Peter takes possession of "The Jolly Roger," Captain Hook's pirate ship, Tootles takes Smee's place as boatswain. At the end of the novel, he returns to London with Wendy and the other lost boys and eventually grows up to become a judge. In unreleased content for the play's epilogue, it is stated that Wendy married Tootles when they grew up.
SLIGHTLY – Slightly is described as the most conceited of the boys, because he believes that he, unlike the others, remembers what life was like before he was "lost." However, most of his "memories" are based on misunderstandings: for example, he claims to know what his last name is because his pinafore had the words "Slightly Soiled" written on the tag. Slightly is, apparently, a poor make-believer, but he does seem to have a talent for music; he is described as cutting whistles and flutes from the branches of trees and dancing to tunes he creates himself. He grows up to marry into nobility and become a lord.
NIBS – Nibs is described as happy and debonair, possibly the bravest Lost Boy. The only thing he remembers about his mother is that she always wanted a cheque book and says he would love to give her one - if he knew what it was. He grows up to work in an office.
CURLEY – Curly ("Cubby" in the Disney version) is described by Barrie as "a pickle" (a person who gets into pickles) and has curly hair, hence his name. He isn't very smart but very loveable. Curly is also a little timid but has a kind heart. Curly grows up to work in an office.
THE TWINS – he Twins – First and Second Twin know little about themselves as they are not allowed to because Peter Pan does not know what Twins are, and no Lost Boy is allowed to know anything that Peter doesn't. The Twins grow up to work in an office.

● Accent = How you say the words. (Example: an American accent vs. a British accent.)
● Dialect = The words and grammar you use, as well as how you say them. (Example: “soda” in one place, “pop” in another — same thing, different dialect.)
➡️ Accent is about sound. Dialect is about sound and words.

Never touch the mics.
The only person(s) permitted to adjust or remove the mic on the actor's face or the pack in their belt is a MIC TECHNICIAN.
Any accidental damage to a mic by mishandling (or dropping) can cost $$$ to replace.
Never touch the mic on your face, tug on the wire, or touch the pack in your mic belt.
It is important to remember that absences are not permitted during tech week. Cast members are expected to attend all rehearsals they are called for unless prior approval has been given. Any absences from tech rehearsal can disrupt the planning, timing, and efficiency of the rehearsal process.
Finally, please remember that a musical is a living, breathing entity! Things don’t always go exactly as planned, so changes to the plan may be made during the rehearsal process. We promise to give you as much advance notice as possible on all changes that arise.
Q: Can I add more schedule conflicts later? No. All conflicts must be added by Auditions. Additional conflicts may only be added with permission from the Director.
Q: Are conflicts listed here considered "excused absences"? Yes
Q: What if my child is sick or there's an emergency? Emergency or Sick-Days are excused.
Unavailability for rehearsals can seriously affect rehearsal planning. We can not add conflicts later. All conflicts are due before the first rehearsal. If the actor misses a rehearsal that is planned around their scheduled availability, it is the actors responsibility to "catch up". Private rehearsal time with the directors is $45/hr.
Please, no additional conflicts (planned absences) or changes in availability after the first rehearsal. The rehearsal schedule will be set and all actors will be expected to attend as planned. Thank you !
