A riveting spin on the classic story of Alice and her Looking-Glass World, Wonderland reminds us "ordinary magic happens every single day." This contemporary adaption features a fresh pop score with music from Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Civil War, Bonnie & Clyde, Death Note), lyrics by Jack Murphy (The Civil War), and a revised book by Jennifer Paulson-Lee and Gabriel Barre (based on an original book by Gregory Boyd (The Civil War) and Jack Murphy). The updated vision of Wonderland premiered at the Tuacahn Center For The Arts in Utah in 2022.
Just moments away from a promotion as a video game developer, Alice has been estranged from her husband and alienated from her daughter. When a dream transports her to Wonderland, she encounters strange yet familiar characters including a Cheshire Cat with a fabulous flair, a delightfully dotty Queen of Hearts, and a malicious Mad Hatter. Through her journey, Alice finds a new sense of balance and strength within herself as she reconnects with her inner child and learns to believe in herself again.
