Beginning in 1892, she played Kitty Verdun in the original production of the hit comedy Charley's Aunt. She was the first to play the title role in J. Barrie's Peter Pan, beginning in 1904 at the Duke of York's Theatre. Boucicault retired from the stage in 1927, returning in 1935 and 1936 in Frolic Wind and Waste, respectively, while continuing her film career. She died in Hamilton Road, Ealing.
