Daniel is very excited to announce that he is to become the boy who wont grow up in a brand new musical version of Peter Pan.

Playing at both The Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin and The Southampton Mayflower Theatre, the enchanting tale of Peter Pan follows the boy who won’t grow up as he encounters the Darling family and takes them with him on his adventures through Neverland. A story of courage, friendship, loyalty, good and evil and of course fairies, this really is the show for all the family.

Bringing this magical new show to life are Michael Rose alongside Chris Moreno who have previously brought Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas The Musical and last year’s Aladdin to the Southampton Mayflower stage.

“Playing the role of Peter in this brand new version of Peter Pan will be a tough challenge physically, vocally and mentally and we are thrilled to have Daniel on board. We can’t wait to see him flying across the Mayflower stage singing the fabulous new score. This version of Peter Pan has a modern twist and we know Daniel will suit this beautifully and have the audience fall in love with his Peter” - Michael Rose

This 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.
