Young performers aged seven to 25 are invited to audition for Peter Pan - A Musical Adventure at the Alban Arena.

Brilliant Theatre is back at the Arena for a sixth year with their 2023 summer production, fresh from their 2022 hit productions of Matilda 

The musical adapts J. M. Barrie's timeless tale of the boy who refused to grow up, with a spellbinding score by multi award-winning composers Stiles and Drewe (Mary Poppins, Kipps, Wind in the Willows).

Peter Pan whisks the Darling children beyond the stars to Neverland, where they move from one big adventure to the next.

Speaking about the original Leeds production, the Yorkshire Evening Post said: "The tunes escalate the magic...and makes the already brilliant J. M. Barrie story all the more sublime".

The intensive summer production from July 31 to August 13, and participants will learn, rehearse and perform the full-scale musical in just two weeks, working in a professional theatre with an experienced creative team.
