For more than 150 years, “Alice in Wonderland” has captivated children with its timeless and whimsical story written by Lewis Caroll. The classic tale is now re-told in an enchanting adaptation with book by Jim Eiler, music by Jim Eiler and Jeanne Bargy, lyrics by Jim Eiler.
Inviting and magical, “Alice in Wonderland” is an imaginative new twist on one of the most beloved stories of all time. Alice returns to the whimsical world she first entered as a child and embarks on a journey to discover her true destiny. This wonderland is a world beyond your imagination and unlike anything you’ve seen before. The extraordinary characters you’ve loved come to life richer and more colorful than ever. There’s the mad hatter, the queen of hearts, the white rabbit, and more.
“Alice in Wonderland” promises to be full of catchy tunes, as director Joy Virata said the plot is largely told through song. “As far as I’m concerned, this is like an opera. This version has more music in it than dialogue. The story is told through the music, so it’s unique. “Alice in Wonderland” is an incredible feast for your eyes, eyes and heart that will captivate audiences of all sizes. An adventure the whole family can enjoy,” Virata said.
