May Martin was Nina Boucicault's understudy in the first London run (1904-05) of Peter Pan. Nina missed her first performance on January 29, 1905. By the end of the run Martin replaced Nina but on closing night, April 1, 1905, Nina Boucicault performed the role for the last time, even giving a curtain speech where she announced that Peter Pan would return for the 1905-06 Christmas season. Ironically, she was not included in the cast that was primarily the same. This information is from the new book, Peter Pan on Stage and Screen 1904-2010, by Bruce K. Hanson.

There have been lots of them, starting with the first-ever production in London 1904, starring Nina Boucicault. The next year, Maude Adams played Peter Pan in New York. Zena Dare and Pauline Chase (who played one of the Lost Boys in the first production) played the role many times.Several women have played Peter Pan in stage musical adaptations: Jean Arthur (1950), Mary Martin (starting in 1954), Sandy Duncan (1970s-1980s), Mia Farrow (1976, TV special), and Cathy Rigby (1990s-present).There was also a silent movie made in 1924, which was a lot like the stage productions of the time, starring Betty Bronson.(A much shorter question to answer is "What males have played Peter Pan?")
