A brand new musical production of Peter Pan opens at the Grand Canal Theatre on July 15, but before all that the producers are looking to cast some of the roles here in Dublin. The search is on for three boys to play the role of Michael Darling and two teams of 10 boys to play the Lost Boys.

For the role of Michael Darling producers are looking for boys with maximum height of 4ft 6” and between the ages of 7 and 12 years. This role will include rehearsals in London and flying onstage so boys must be able to cope with heights. Meanwhile, for the Lost Boys maximum height is 5ft and boys must be between the ages of 7 and 14.

All boys must be available from 20th June 2011 until 6th August 2011 and must hold a valid passport for travel to the UK.

The producers will be holding auditions at Grand Canal Theatre, Dublin on Sunday, 10th April 2011 from 9.30am, when registration starts. Children will be seen strictly in the order in which they arrive and the auditions must conclude by 4pm.

This production is from the people behind last years Chitty Chitty Bang Bang revival at the Grand Canal and according to sources "is Peter Pan for the 21st Century with stunning sets, sensational flying sequences, a brand new score and a sprinkling of modern day fairy dust.".

21st century..yes, but leaving this classic out however will be unforgiveable!
