I thought that this was the reason, but really, there are a) really ... uh... twinky actors around who could probably do this and there are a lot of talented younger actors who could probably work with the role. It just seems so strange that Peter Pan, a boy who is supposed to be an eternal child, is always played by a grown woman.

But I guess a big factor is also that it would have to be an at least moderately well known/successful actor to get more people to watch and suddenly, the number goes down for this type.

That's true, but to be fair, there are loads of child shows these days. Matilda comes to mind, I think the actors aren't that old. I think the name Peter Pan would probably be enough to run the show, but then, I don't know that much about theater.

It does seem really weird when Peter Pan's existence is a young boy, that's so important to his character. I can get why it was easier in the past, but I think these days there are more younger actors who could pull it off? idk. I guess it is a huge role for a kid, though I think it's normal for child roles to have alternate actors every night so they don't have to work so much.

Exactly. I think it would be definitely doable and there are enough young actors who could pull it off. It's just so weird seeing mid-to-late 20s women play a young boy - their voices also never quite fit. It's like all those actors pushing 30s who play high school students on TV-shows and in movies all the time. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.
