In pantomime, the principal boy role is the young male protagonist of the play, traditionally played by a young actress in boy's clothes.

The practice of having a female play the principal boy was eroded in the late 20th century, as further outlets were sought for the talents of young male pop stars and actors.

The London stage production of Peter Pan is one where the tradition of a female principal boy has continued.
