You got we wondering. I decided that "tinker" was as is. Sure enough, from wiki,

"Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, like an actual tinker.[1] Her speech consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell, which is understandable only to those familiar with the language of the fairies."

Figures. Not gonna watch it anyways.

Have 2 VHS copies of the Mary Martin version.

Which I hid because a niece used to watch it, Annie, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang all the bloody time when she was younger.

Tradition, a least for the stage version, and probably a boy of about the correct age could turn into a man almost overnight-voice changing, beard, muscles, etc.

The “Lost Boys” in tonight’s producton were WAY too old, they were more like lost men and the pirates were ummm..too flamboyant. A female Pan was the least of its problems.
