Evolution Productions, producers of this year's pantomime at The Hawth in Crawley, Peter Pan, auditioned more than 200 local children for roles as dancers, Lost Boys and Michael and John Darling.
48 were selected to appear alongside Emma Barton, Shaun Williamson and Joseph Elliot. Toby Maynard and Niall O'Mara will be sharing the role of John Darling with Liam Watts and Will Tarpey as Michael Darling. There will also be two teams of Lost Boys and three teams of girls.
Producer Emily Wood, who is also directing, said, "we had an incredible turnout and once again the Hawth has proved that this area is awash with talent. Everyone was at such a high standard it was hard to whittle it down but we've definitely auditioned some fantastic performers and they will be a real asset to the cast of Peter Pan".
