NOLAN ALMEIDA (Peter Pan) appeared as Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the age of seven, and he’s been acting ever since. His last appearance was as Crutchie in Newsies directed by Richard J. Hinds at 5-Star Theatricals. Nolan hails from Orange County, California, and aside from acting, he likes songwriting and playing guitar, skateboarding and playing basketball. His favorite actor is Leonardo DiCaprio, his favorite movie is Titanic, and his favorite singer/songwriter is Bruno Major. He likes apple pie and vanilla ice cream (yup) and his favorite foods are tacos and beef with broccoli. (But not together.) Playing this iconic role and getting to introduce his generation to the magic of Peter Pan is a dream come true! Endless gratitude to his acting coach Danielle Keaton for introducing him to the art in acting, as well as his family and friends for their constant support. |

Reviews
BroadwayWorld Seattle – 08/22/2024
“Nolan Almeida as Peter has some incredible stage presence and is able to captivate all when he’s on stage. His voice was gorgeous, and his flying routines were awesome and felt second nature to him. I’m not entirely certain he wasn’t Peter Pan.”
Seattle’s Child – 08/22/2024
“Nolan Almeida, 17, was a very impressive Peter Pan.”
BroadwayWorld Orange County – 08/14/2024
“Per usual, the central beacon of PETER PAN is its renowned title character, here played by the talented, very likable 17-year-old OC native Nolan Almeida. Portraying the young boy who doesn’t want to grow up, Almeida is quite a discovery, blessed with a pleasingly beaming personality, an incredible singing voice, and an infectious verve and enthusiasm that bursts through right from his first appearance as he tries to find his lost shadow, then subsequently enchant the three Darling children in their shared nursery and convinces them to join him in his adventures.
Ironically, the young actor actually appears more seasoned than his age seems to suggest. Singing, acting, and doing acrobatic flips in the air and on the ground, this energetic teenager is, to put it simply—really, really good at this. Almeida possesses a natural charisma and a youthful zeal, yet sings and acts like a seasoned pro. His performance, actually, has a lot to do with the show’s overall enjoyment…
…But Almeida’s exemplary work in this production certainly makes the case for casting not only an actual young teenager in the role, but also to show that the role is benefitted by casting someone that closely resembles how the character should look and act (think Disney’s, arguably, definitive version of the boy who can fly, but in actual human form).
…Other standouts include…John played by William Foon, pint-sized Michael played by Camden Kwok…”
San Diego Jewish World – 08/01/2024
“The five minors in the show all did an incredible job. This includes 17-year old Southern California native Almeida in the title role.”
Entertainment Today – 07/22/2024
“Having Nolan play Peter Pan with such boyish enthusiasm was a delight. A combination of sweetness when he sings ‘Neverland,’ laced with a mischievous nature singing ‘I Gotta Crow,’ makes Almeida’s performance worthy of the material. The children who are whisked away to Neverland are outstanding…William Foon as John and Camden Kwok as pint-size Michael (for the July 18 performance) are ultra-entertaining.”
Splash Magazine – 07/21/2024
“17-year-old Nolan Almeida embodies Peter with grace and charm and clearly captured the audience.”
SoCal Thrills – 07/17/2024
“Nolan Almeida (Peter Pan) has a great singing voice and energy, effortlessly balancing the naivety and faux confidence of his character.”
Attractions Magazine – 05/15/2024
“In the role of Peter, 17-year-old Nolan Almeida brings just enough allure and swagger to the character…Often, children can feel very forced and unnatural on stage, but in this production they come across as the opposite. A special shoutout to young Reed Epley as Michael, who gamely keeps up with the adults around him in both his acting and the choreography.”
New City Stage – 04/02/2024
“The young cast give an exceptional performance…Foon and Epley as Wendy’s siblings are utterly adorable. Almeida as Peter Pan speaks with a New York City accent, like a flying “Newsie,” and brings a wealth of energy to the role.”
Chicago Star Media – 03/28/2024
“Nolan Almeida, as “Peter Pan,” not only mesmerizes with his singing and dancing, but also astounds with his gymnastic abilities. His skills flying around the set suspended from wires, doing backflips and rollovers, was nothing short of remarkable. And the scene where Peter, Wendy, John and Michael fly to Neverland will be forever etched in my memory. There were gasps throughout the audience with visuals that I won’t describe here and ruin it for you. But, trust me, you should see Peter Pan while you can and definitely bring the young ones.”
Chicago Sun Times – 03/28/2024
“…talented teen Nolan Almeida…”
