WONDERLAND IN ALICE
"A fresh, modern take on this classic tale that stands apart from the numerous other musical adaptations that have come before." - Musical Theatre Review
Wonderland in Alice is a new musical that re-imagines Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of self-discovery and escapism. This movement-led reimagining of Alice in Wonderland explores Alice as a non-binary character and the challenges of facing binary, preconceptions, and societal expectations.
Commissioned by British Youth Music Theatre (BYMT) and CTC Dance, this new musical will transport you through an otherworldly neon world, drawing on inspiration from modern musical theatre and synth-pop to create an ethereal, electro vibe.
