Taylor Louderman, who played the leading role in Broadway's Bring It On: The Musical and Paper Mill Playhouse's recent production of Grease, has been cast as Wendy Darling in NBC's December 4 presentation of Peter Pan Live!

The network also announced that Alanna Saunders, who has appeared onstage in Gypsy opposite Leslie Uggams, will play Tiger Lily. She and Louderman join a cast led by Allison Williams as Peter Pan, Christopher Walken as Captain Hook, Christian Borle as Mr. Darling/Smee, and Kelli O'Hara as Mrs. Darling.
