According to Hit Fix, "Greenblatt mentioned that Peter Pan will, indeed, be played by a woman (there was some ambiguity on that issue when NBC met with the press back in January) and referred to at least one A-lister who won't be playing the leader of the Lost Boys: "Veronica Mars" star and chirpy "Frozen" voice Kristen Bell wasn't able to commit to what is a four-plus month commitment, but there were conversations with her." Late Tony Award-winning soprano Mary Martin originated the role on Broadway and preserved her performance in two live television broadcasts.
