Welcome to the Theater Congratulations! You’ll be working with your creative team and fellow cast members to put on a musical. Before you begin rehearsals, there are some important things you should know. This book is your script. Whether putting on a school production or rehearsing a professional show, every actor, director, and stage manager works from a script. Your Actor’s Script contains additional information for this musical, like this introduction and two glossaries. You can look up any bold words in the Actor’s Glossary at the back of this book. Be sure to take good care of your script and take notes with a pencil since what you’ll be doing onstage can change during rehearsals. One of the first things you’ll need to learn is what to call the various areas of the stage. Since most stages used to be raked, or tilted down toward the house where the audience sits, the term downstage is still used to refer to the area closest to the audience, and upstage is used to refer to the area farthest from the audience. Stage left and stage right are from the actor’s perspective when facing the audience. This diagram shows how to use these terms to label nine different parts of the stage.

ii

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


What to Expect During Rehearsals You will be performing a musical, a type of play that tells a story through music, choreography, and dialogue. Because there are so many parts of a musical, most shows have more than one author. The composer writes the music and usually works with a lyricist, who writes the lyrics, or words, for the songs. The book writer writes the dialogue (spoken words, or lines) and the stage directions, which tell the actors what to do onstage and which music cues to listen for. If the book writer and lyricist are the same person, they are often referred to as the librettist, since the book and lyrics together are referred to as the libretto. Your director will plan rehearsals so that the cast is ready to give its best performance on opening night! Remember to warm up before each rehearsal so that your mind, body, and voice are ready to go. Every rehearsal process is a little bit different, but here is an idea of what you can expect as you begin to work on your show:

Music Since you’re performing a musical, it is important to learn the music during the rehearsal process. Your music director will teach the cast all the songs in the show and tell you what to practice at home.

Choreography Since most musicals include some movement or dance, you’ll also be rehearsing choreography. Your choreographer will create the dances and teach them to the cast. The music and the choreography help tell the story.

Blocking & Scene Work Your director will determine where everyone in the cast stands and how they move around the stage. You’ll use theater blocking terms (downstage left, upstage right, etc.) a lot during this portion of the rehearsal process. You will also practice speaking your lines and work on memorizing them. Rehearsing your part from memory is called being off-book. Your director will help you understand the important action in each scene so you can make the best choices for your character’s objective, or what your character wants.

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script

iii


Marking Your Script Notating your script can help you to remember important blocking and direction. Below are some tips to keep you on track. 1

Always write your name legibly on your script. Scripts have a way of getting lost or changing hands during rehearsals.

2

Mark your lines and lyrics with a bright-colored highlighter to make your part stand out on the page. This will allow you to look up from your script during rehearsals, since it will be easier to find your place when you look back down.

3

Underline important stage directions, lines, lyrics, and individual words. For example, if your director wants you to stress a word, underline it in your script.

4

Save time and space by using the following standard abbreviations: ON: onstage

OFF: offstage

US: upstage

DS: downstage

SL: stage left

SR: stage right

CS: center stage

X: cross

You may use these abbreviations to modify other instructions (you could write “R hand up” to remind yourself to raise your right hand). You may also combine them in various ways (you could write “XDSR” to remind yourself to cross downstage right).

iv

5

Draw diagrams to help clarify your blocking. For example, if you are instructed to walk in a circle around a bench, you might draw a box to represent the bench, then draw a circle around it with an arrow indicating the direction in which you are supposed to walk.

6

Draw stick figures to help you remember your choreography.

7

Mark your music with large commas to remind yourself where to take breaths while singing.

8

Although you should feel free to mark up your script, be careful it doesn’t become so cluttered with notes that you have a hard time finding your lines on the page!

Synopsis The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE appears, bringing a whimsical world to life around the curious, imaginative ALICE (Opening: Alice’s Theme). Alice’s older sister MATHILDA and her FRIENDS barge in, shattering the world of Wonderland and mocking Alice for living in a childish, make-believe world. After they go, Alice dreams of a place of wonder and adventure where she can be her truest self (In a World of My Own). As Alice falls asleep, the world of Wonderland comes to life around her and CHESHIRE CATS 1-3 appear to guide Alice on her journey. At the beckoning of the Cheshire Cat, the WHITE RABBIT rushes by, lamenting that he is behind schedule (I’m Late). Alice follows him to the edge of his rabbit hole and jumps in as the inhabitants of Wonderland fall past her, offering advice (Very Good Advice). Alice lands in front of a very small door. The DOORKNOB suggests that Alice eat and drink magical items to change her size. During her growing and shrinking, she cries an ocean of tears and is able to swim through the door’s keyhole into Wonderland. A boat rows past carrying a DODO BIRD and a bunch of Wonderland creatures (Ocean of Tears / Smallification 2). Once they all wash ashore, the Dodo Bird initiates a race so that everyone can dry off (The Caucus Race). The White Rabbit runs by again (I’m Late – Reprise), and Alice tries to follow him but runs into TWEEDLE DEE and TWEEDLE DUM. The Tweedles explain how to properly greet someone (How D’Ye Do and Shake Hands) but end up confusing everyone in the process. Alice sneaks away to find the White Rabbit at his home, and, after eating a magical cookie, she grows so large she ends up wearing his house as a dress. After shrinking in size once more, Alice comes upon ROSE, LILY, PETUNIA, DAISY, and VIOLET, the Flowers of the Golden Afternoon. Alice longs to join their club, but the Flowers cruelly turn her away (The Golden Afternoon). An energetic CATERPILLAR comes upon a very sad Alice and encourages her to continue her quest despite all the unknowns ahead (Adventure Is a Wonderful Thing). Afterwards, Alice finally comes face to face with the magical Cheshire Cat, who sends her off to a tea party. When Alice arrives, the MAD HATTER, MARCH HARE, and PARTY GUESTS are celebrating their unbirthdays (The Unbirthday Song). The White Rabbit runs by, still late (I’m Late – Reprise 2), and the Mad Hatter and March Hare try to fix his watch with disastrous results. Alice follows the White Rabbit into the Royal Rose Garden and runs into a strange sight: the ROYAL CARDS are painting the roses red (Painting the Roses Red). The QUEEN OF HEARTS and KING OF HEARTS appear, and the Queen chastises the Royal Cards (Painting the Roses Red – Reprise). When the Queen of Hearts notices Alice, she challenges her to a game of Simon Says (Simon Says – Parts 1 & 2). Alice, much to everyone’s surprise, beats the Queen at her own game. The King proposes a trial for Alice as an alternative to an immediate beheading. Witnesses

condemn Alice, including the Mad Hatter and March Hare, who make sure to wish the Queen a happy unbirthday (The Unbirthday Song – Reprise). At the last minute, the Caterpillar appears, asking Alice to dig deep and think hard about who she really is. Alice, pondering the question, finally realizes that just being herself is more than enough. Suddenly, Wonderland disappears and Alice is back at home, waking from a nap. As Alice excitedly relays her moment of self-discovery to Mathilda, she discovers the White Rabbit’s watch in her pocket. Alice, Mathilda, and the Wonderland Ensemble rejoice in the freedom to be their true selves, in a fantastical Wonderland of their own making (Finale).

Theater Tips

• It takes an ensemble to make a show; everyone’s part is important. • Be respectful of others at all times. • Bring your script and a pencil to every rehearsal. • Arrive at rehearsal on time and ready to begin. • Be specific! Make clear choices about your character’s background and motivation for each line and action. • To help memorize your lines, write them down or speak them aloud to yourself in a mirror. • Don’t upstage yourself. Cheat out so the audience can always see your face and hear your voice. • Before each performance, tell everyone to “break a leg” – which is theater talk for “good luck”! • Be quiet backstage and remember: if you can see the audience, they can see you – so stay out of sight. • If you forget a line or something unexpected happens onstage, keep going! When you remain confident and in character, it’s unlikely that the audience will notice anything is wrong. • Remember to thank your director and fellow cast and crew. • HAVE FUN!

MATHILDA (a bit embarrassed by her sister’s odd ways) Alice…What are you doing…? ALICE (focused, professorial) I’m not Alice! I’m Professor Alabaster, on a search for a rare rainbow caterpillar. Is there even such a thing?

FRIEND 1

(FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 2 giggle. MATHILDA steps in.) MATHILDA Forget my sister. She’s always got her head in the clouds. No, I don’t.

ALICE

FRIEND 2 (to MATHILDA) Didn’t you say that last week she had a tea party… by herself?? ALICE (looking up for the first time from her caterpillar quest) Not true! (to the FRIENDS, now with a royal posture and tone, maybe even an accent) You see, I had to throw a party to welcome my constituents. They traveled by boat to see me crowned “Princess Alissa, Ruler of the Land”! …What?

ALICE

FRIEND 1 (patronizing) Oh, Alice. You spend way too much time playing make-believe. FRIEND 2 You’ll see when you’re older. That’s just kid stuff. Come on, Mathilda. Let’s go.

FRIEND 1

(The two FRIENDS exit. ALICE sits, defeated. MATHILDA lingers behind to comfort her sister.) MATHILDA (trying to soften the blow) Alice. Look. They’re not trying to be mean. But you’re always making up stories. Always pretending to be someone you’re not. A Professor… a Princess… just be yourself. ALICE

But… who am I?

MATHILDA I don’t know who you are, Alice. That’s something no one can answer but you. (#2 – IN A WORLD OF MY OWN.)

(Applause! The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE exits excitedly. Three parts of the CHESHIRE CAT remain onstage with a gigantic smile and address the audience.) CHESHIRE CAT 1 Alice is about to discover that Wonderland is far more than she expected. CHESHIRE CAT 2 It’s a land of racing lobsters, singing flowers, painting cards, and even a talking Cheshire Cat… That’s me! CHESHIRE CAT 3

You mean us. But I—

CHESHIRE CAT 2 Alice’s journey to Wonderland begins with a pallid, long-eared, carrotmunching quadruped known only as... The White Rabbit!

(A little DOORKNOB appears.) ALICE This must be where the White Rabbit went. I have to get in. (ALICE tugs on the DOORKNOB, which yelps in pain.) DOORKNOB Yeow! Leggo my schnozzola already! ALICE Oh, I’m sorry. I have to find the White Rabbit. DOORKNOB The White Rabbit, eh? Well, who taught you to go around pulling on people’s proboscises? ALICE You’re not a person – you’re a doorknob. DOORKNOB Well, doorknobs have feelings too. ALICE I’m very sorry I pulled on your proboscis, but I have to find the White Rabbit. DOORKNOB

(eyeing ALICE closely) You are far too big to enter Wonderland.

ALICE Oh no! But I just have to get in! I just have to! DOORKNOB Now, don’t have a tantrum. You just arrived. There’s far too much adventure ahead to lose patience already. Maybe if you drank some of the magic potion in that convenient bottle floating nearby, you might… just… fit in. (The CHESHIRE CAT reveals a bottle with a “DRINK ME” label and floats it in front of ALICE.) ALICE Hmm… I really don’t know what’s in this bottle, but it looks so pretty. It could be poison, or mayonnaise, or hand sanitizer, or a frothy combination of all three! But I have to find the White Rabbit. I must continue with my adventure! Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script

(ALICE gulps from the bottle. #7 – SMALLIFICATION. She shrinks; SMALL ALICE replaces ALICE.) CHESHIRE CAT 1 With one gulp of that potion, Alice shrank to three inches tall— CHESHIRE CAT 2 You mean three inches short— CHESHIRE CAT 3 It was a very tall three inches. SMALL ALICE Oh, look at me. I’m the right size for that door! DOORKNOB I believe someone forgot about the key waaaaaay up there on that shelf. (The CHESHIRE CAT holds a key way up high.) SMALL ALICE Now I’m too small to reach the key! Oh no, no, no. DOORKNOB Oh, please don’t fret. Here, try a cookie. (The CHESHIRE CAT reveals a cookie jar labeled “EAT ME.” Inside is an irresistible large cookie.) SMALL ALICE Well, it looks delicious. I just love cookies! But how do I know what’s in it? Don’t be silly, Alice – what harm can one cookie do? (SMALL ALICE takes a bite. #8 – TALLIFICATION. She grows; TALL ALICE replaces SMALL ALICE.) CHESHIRE CAT 1 Alice grew so big with just one tiny bite of that cookie... CHESHIRE CAT 2 … that she filled the entire room at the bottom of the rabbit hole. Now I’m too big!

TALL ALICE

DOORKNOB Sorry, kid, you’ll never fit in Wonderland now. Try Pittsburgh.

DODO BIRD My dear young damsel, the only way to get yourself dry in Wonderland is to initiate an officially sanctioned Caucus Race! What is a Caucus Race? It involves a lot of running. Which way do we run? No particular direction.

The DODO BIRD hands her a cookie.) SMALL ALICE Thanks! After all that swimming and racing, I could use a pick-me-up! (SMALL ALICE nibbles the cookie. #12 – TALLIFICATION 2.

CHESHIRE CAT 1 Alice decided to go with the flow.

CHESHIRE CAT 2 And chased after the White Rabbit— CHESHIRE CAT 3 But ran into Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum— CHESHIRE CAT

Literally!

(ALICE bowls into identical oddballs TWEEDLE DEE and TWEEDLE DUM. All three fall down.) Oh, I’m sorry!

ALICE

TWEEDLE DUM Oh, how do you do, Sorry! I’m Tweedle Dum. TWEEDLE DEE And I’m Tweedle Dee. I’ve never met anyone named Sorry before. (The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE in an elaborate, confusing manner.) ALICE Oh, I’m sorry, but I’m not Sorry. I’m sorry. TWEEDLE DEE Oh, how do you do! I’m Tweedle Dee. No, I’m Tweedle Dee.

TWEEDLE DUM

(The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE again.) TWEEDLE DEE No, I’m Tweedle Dee. You’re Tweedle Dum. Oh, am I? I’m sorry.

TWEEDLE DUM

TWEEDLE DEE What a coincidence! So is she! Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script

(to ALICE) Are we related?!

TWEEDLE DUM

ALICE

I’m sorry?

TWEEDLE DUM Oh, how do you do! I’m Tweedle Dum. TWEEDLE DEE Then I must be Tweedle Dee. (The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE. This is getting tiresome.) Don’t you know who you are?

ALICE

TWEEDLE DUM (overreacting) Well, there’s no need to attack us! Yes, we’ve only just met!

TWEEDLE DEE

ALICE I thought you knew each other. I’m sor— TWEEDLE DUM (cutting her off) Oh, how do you do? I’m Tweedle Dum. ALICE (overlapping, trying to correct the confusion) I apologize. And I’m Tweedle Dee.

TWEEDLE DEE

(The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE, who is now over it.) ALICE And I’m out of here! It’s been fun, but I have to find the White Rabbit.

Oh, right. (laughs) I don’t even know a Samantha!! (beat) Well, I don’t care what your name is. You’re making me later than I already am. (points frantically offstage to his house) Hurry, hurry, my gloves, somewhere in my house. I’m late!! ALICE You “don’t care” what my name is?! Boy, I never knew rabbits could be so rude! (The CHESHIRE CAT reveals the cookie jar.) Oh, look – another cookie! What harm could one more do… (ALICE eats a cookie. #15 – TALLIFICATION 3. ALICE spins offstage.) Famous last words.

CHESHIRE CAT 2

CHESHIRE CAT 3 Alice took one bite and grew as big as a house.

44 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


CHESHIRE CAT 1 The White Rabbit’s house, to be exact. CHESHIRE CAT 2 Her arms and legs stuck out the windows and doors— CHESHIRE CAT 1 And the roof sat on the top of her head! (TALL ALICE enters wearing the house like a dress and the roof as a hat.) TALL ALICE Oh, no. I can’t go out in public in this house dress. I’ve got to do something. WHITE RABBIT Help, help! There’s a monster in my house! And I’m late! TALL ALICE I’m not a monster, I’m a little girl. Okay, a very big little girl. WHITE RABBIT Help, help! There’s a very big little girl in my house. And I’m still late! (DODO BIRD and the WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE run on, stand back, and look up in awe at TALL ALICE wearing the house.) DODO BIRD

Whoa! Love the hat.

WHITE RABBIT I’m late! Help me! Help me! DODO BIRD

I have the answer!

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3 (to the audience) And there was much rejoicing! Yay!

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE

We’ll burn the house down!

Nooooo!

WHITE RABBIT, TALL ALICE

DODO BIRD Hurry up now, gather the wood. Anybody got a match? I’m all out. TALL ALICE Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to play with matches? WHITE RABBIT Just hurry! Pleeeease!! I’m— ALL

Late. We know.

TALL ALICE Oh dear! I’d better do something, fast. Maybe if I eat one of those carrots growing in the rabbit’s garden! (#16 – SMALLIFICATION 3. The CHESHIRE CAT holds up a bunch of carrots. TALL ALICE grabs one and eats it quickly.) CHESHIRE CAT 1 When Alice ate that carrot, can you guess what happened? That’s right! Cue Small Alice!

CHESHIRE CAT 2 CHESHIRE CAT 3

(SMALL ALICE replaces TALL ALICE and runs away from the house. The WHITE RABBIT, DODO BIRD, and WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE exit.)

SCENE SIX: BRAVING THE GARDEN CHESHIRE CAT 1 Alice ran away through the blades of grass and explored the jungles of… (#17 – THE GARDEN.) CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3

(like a scary movie) The Garden! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

46 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


(Beautiful FLOWERS – ROSE, LILY, PETUNIA, DAISY, and VIOLET – enter and pose with a sweet yet dangerous edge. SMALL ALICE enters.) SMALL ALICE Up, down, big, small – no matter how hard I try, I never seem to fit in! (The FLOWERS mock SMALL ALICE.) ROSE

Up, down—

LILY

Big, small—

PETUNIA, DAISY, VIOLET I never seem to fit iiiiiiiiin. (The FLOWERS laugh with major attitude.) SMALL ALICE Wow. You are all so… beautiful! (snottily) We know! Right, Daisy? That’s right, Rosie.

ROSE

DAISY

VIOLET Everybody loves us because we’re... FLOWERS The Flowers of the Golden Afternoon! SMALL ALICE The Golden Afternoon? What’s that? LILY It’s the name of our very exclusive garden club, right Petunia? PETUNIA Totally affirmative, Lily. If you want to be cool, you have to be a flower like us! No one gets in unless we say.

LILY PETUNIA SMALL ALICE ROSE FLOWERS VIOLET

Whatever!

PETUNIA You’re way too uncool to become a Flower of the Golden Afternoon. SMALL ALICE You wouldn’t talk to me like that if I weren’t three inches tall. ROSE (cackling) But you are, Alice – you are three inches tall! LILY Beat it, slug, before you wind up on the bottom of somebody’s shoe. Ewwwwww!!

FLOWERS

(The FLOWERS laugh at SMALL ALICE as they exit. Dejected, SMALL ALICE sits, buries her face in her hands, and starts to cry. #19 – ENTER THE CATERPILLAR. The CATERPILLAR enters.) CATERPILLAR Oh, don’t let those babbling blooms get you down, kid. SMALL ALICE But if I could look like them, I’d fit in, and life would be so easy!

Um. No.

CATERPILLAR I’m a Caterpillar, kiddo. At least for now! SMALL ALICE I’m so confused. I wanted adventure, but nothing makes any sense here. CATERPILLAR Alice, things don’t always make sense. But that doesn’t mean you give up! (#20 – ADVENTURE IS A WONDERFUL THING.)

(with new confidence) A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-

CHESHIRE CAT 2

E!

CHESHIRE CAT 1

Me.

CHESHIRE CAT 3

We!

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3 Hello, Alice. We are the Cheshire Cat. ALICE Oh, how do you do? I have a cat just like you. Her name is Dinah. Oh, really? Just like us, huh?

CHESHIRE CAT 2 CHESHIRE CAT 3

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3 Can Dinah stand on her head like this? (The CHESHIRE CAT rearranges body parts and stands on its head.)

62 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


ALICE No, I’m sure she can’t. Though I’m not sure of anything anymore. I thought Wonderland would be everything I always dreamed about… but everything here is upside down. (referencing the cat) Literally. CHESHIRE CAT 1 Somebody having a bad day? ALICE Maybe the White Rabbit can help me, but I can’t find him anywhere. CHESHIRE CAT 1 You might ask the Mad Hatter. CHESHIRE CAT 2 He knows where everything is. CHESHIRE CAT 3 Trouble is, he keeps it all under his hat. ALICE A Mad Hatter? I don’t want to make anyone mad. CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3 Haven’t you noticed we’re all a little mad? (The CHESHIRE CAT disappears, leaving only a floating smile.) CHESHIRE CAT 3 Why, I myself am not all here! Enjoy the tea party.

CHESHIRE CAT 2

CHESHIRE CAT 1 Try the Red Zinger. Does wonderful things for growing pains.

ALICE

MAD HATTER I know! Wasn’t it fun? Let’s do it again!! WHITE RABBIT Oh nooo! Now I’ll never get there on time! (#25 – RABBIT, RUN. The WHITE RABBIT runs away. ALICE grabs the watch from the MAD HATTER, puts it in her pocket, and runs after the WHITE RABBIT as the tea party disappears.) ALICE Hey, wait, you forgot your watch! CHESHIRE CAT 1 Alice ran after the White Rabbit, but the rodent was nowhere to be found.

I should just go home… if I could only find my way. CHESHIRE CAT 1 But Alice, in Wonderland, there’s only the Queen’s way. But I’ve never even met a queen.

ALICE

CHESHIRE CAT 2 Then this is your lucky day. CHESHIRE CAT 3 You’re going to meet the greatest Queen of all! CHESHIRE CAT 2 This way to the Royal Rose Garden. CHESHIRE CAT 1 (shouting offstage) Royal Cards, you’re on deck! Right this way, Alice!

(to audience) And there was much hubbub. Hubbub, hubbub, hubbub!

ROYAL CARDS

QUEEN OF HEARTS Silence! We speak the Queen’s English here, you nameless little whelp! ALICE Yes, Your Loudness. I mean, Your Meanness. I mean, Your Highness! And my name is Alice. (gasping) Alice!?

ROYAL CARDS

ALICE Yes, Alice. At least it was when I got here. QUEEN OF HEARTS That’s impossible. Everyone knows Alice doesn’t live here anymore! ALICE Okay, well… um, that works, too… because all I want to do is get out of here and find my way back home. (gasping) Her way home?!?

ROYAL CARDS

QUEEN OF HEARTS Your way home?? You’ll find my way home… or we’ll cut off your head! You’ll be who I say you are and no one else, do you understand? No. Nothing makes sense here!

CHESHIRE CAT 3 And there was much rejoicing. ROYAL CARDS

Yeah!

Wonderland’s favorite pastime?

ALICE

(The CHESHIRE CAT whispers an explanation in ALICE’s ear, gesturing wildly. ALICE gives the CHESHIRE CAT the thumbs up. ALICE turns to the QUEEN OF HEARTS.) Well, Your Majesty, I bet you probably want to play a game of croquet using upside-down flamingos for mallets, right? QUEEN OF HEARTS My dear young girl, croquet is so nineteenth-century.

Sorry.

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3 (shrugging shoulders, to ALICE)

QUEEN OF HEARTS I want to play Simon Says! ALICE

KING OF HEARTS I’m afraid the match goes to Alice! (#31 – ALICE WINS.) QUEEN OF HEARTS You may have won the match, Alice, but you’ve just lost your head! Royal Cards! Off with her— KING OF HEARTS Wait, my dearest. Why don’t we have a trial? Just this once, you know, shake things up a bit? QUEEN OF HEARTS Well, all right. But make it fast, I want to see her head rolling around like a bowling ball. (The WHITE RABBIT steps forward and blows his trumpet. #32 – HIGH TRIBUNAL FANFARE.) WHITE RABBIT All assemble for the high tribunal: Alice versus the Queen of Hearts!

SCENE NINE: ALICE ON TRIAL (The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE enters and assembles. The CHESHIRE CAT leads ALICE to the stand.)

88 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


KING OF HEARTS (like a seasoned trial lawyer) The prisoner is charged with enticing Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, into a game of Simon Says, and thereby willfully – and with Alice of forethought – didst put a bee in her royal bonnet and cause our beloved Queen to lose her royal temper! ALICE Don’t be silly, I just beat her at her own game. QUEEN OF HEARTS (weeping like a distraught witness) She beat me, do you hear? She confesses! She beat me. She beat me! (in sympathy) Aww…

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE

QUEEN OF HEARTS (suddenly happy again) Hurry, get to the good part where we cut off her head! ALICE But we haven’t heard any witnesses yet. First witness— Better make that plural—

CHESHIRE CAT 1 CHESHIRE CAT 2

CHESHIRE CAT 3 Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee – take the witness stand! (#33 – FIRST WITNESSES. TWEEDLE DEE and TWEEDLE DUM, still knotted up in a handshake, take the witness stand.) Oh, how do you do!

TWEEDLES

KING OF HEARTS Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, can you please introduce yourselves to the court?

TWEEDLE DUM We don’t know who we are anymore!! Gasp!

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE

TWEEDLE DEE That horrible little girl got us all tied up in a knot! You see? You see?!?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

KING OF HEARTS And can you tell the court her name? Sorry! Just tell us her name. Sorry!! No, her name! Sorry!!!

TWEEDLES KING OF HEARTS TWEEDLES KING OF HEARTS TWEEDLES

KING OF HEARTS Oh, well. Never mind then. CHESHIRE CAT 2 Next witnesses! The Flowers of the Golden Afternoon!

90 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


(#34 – SECOND WITNESSES. The FLOWERS take the stand. They curtsy before the QUEEN OF HEARTS, attempting to gain favor.) KING OF HEARTS Now, Flowers, did you observe any incredibly suspicious behavior on the part of the incredibly guilty party? ROSE Well, Your Honor, she wanted to become a member of our club! WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE

Gasp! (shocked) She didn’t!!

QUEEN OF HEARTS

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE

She did! I know, right?

LILY PETUNIA

VIOLET She wanted to be a Flower like us! KING OF HEARTS And what did you tell her? FLOWERS

Eeewww!

CHESHIRE CAT 3 Next witnesses: the Mad Hatter and the March Hare! (#35 – THIRD WITNESSES. The MAD HATTER and MARCH HARE take the stand with cups of tea.) Off with your... hat.

QUEEN OF HEARTS

(The MAD HATTER takes off a big hat, revealing a smaller hat underneath.) Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script

KING OF HEARTS What have you to add to the already rock-solid evidence against the soon-to-be-decapitated usurper? MAD HATTER She wants to play by the rules! WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE Gasp! Rules, rules, murmur, murmur— QUEEN OF HEARTS This rebellion must be quelled!!! KING OF HEARTS And just where were you when this horrible crime was committed? MARCH HARE Well, we were having a tea party. MAD HATTER You know, today is my unbirthday. KING OF HEARTS

(to the QUEEN) Why, dear, today is your unbirthday, too!

ROYAL CARDS

ALICE I should shuffle you all and cut you in half! QUEEN OF HEARTS Revolution! Revolution!! Off with her head, I say!!! (The ROYAL CARDS grab ALICE.) ALICE Wait! Don’t I get a defense attorney? Isn’t anyone going to help me? (#37 – ENTER THE CATERPILLAR 2. The CATERPILLAR flies in.) CATERPILLAR Hey, kiddo, I’ll help you… if it so please the court. KING OF HEARTS Well, it really so doesn’t, but I guess it’s only fair. QUEEN OF HEARTS (seething) One minute, Caterpillar… then off with her head! CATERPILLAR

(to the QUEEN) Off with her head, got it. (to ALICE) Hey, kiddo. What an adventure you’ve been on! What people you’ve met! Now, answer this one simple question, and dig deep: Whooooo are youuuuu?

94 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.


(#38 – WHOOO ARE YOUUU?) ALICE

(thinking) Well, I’m not a silly pair of Tweedles who get all bent out of shape and tied up in knots if you don’t know the proper way to say hello! (offended) I’m sorry!

TWEEDLES

(SMALL ALICE joins ALICE on the stand.) SMALL ALICE And I’m certainly not a bunch of snooty flowers who act like they’re better than everybody else and whose only ambition in life is to look pretty! FLOWERS

Hmph.

MAD HATTER

SMALL ALICE And I’m not an anxious White Rabbit who never has time to visit and play and get to know me— TALL ALICE When all I wanted to do was be his friend. Oh dear, dear, dear…

TALL ALICE

SMALL ALICE TALL ALICE

ALICE I’m Alice! And I never want to be anyone else. (#39 – OUT OF WONDERLAND. SMALL ALICE, TALL ALICE and the WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE swirl around ALICE as they exit, as if disappearing through a fog. In the swirl, ALICE lays down asleep, exactly as she was in “A World of My Own.”) WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE (various, overlapping) Alice….Alice....Alice…

EPILOGUE: ALICE WAKES (The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE is gone. ALICE lies on a bare stage, asleep. MATHILDA enters, looking for her sister.) (calling out) Alice… Alice…

ALICE

MATHILDA ALICE

MATHILDA Alice, you’ve been dreaming again. You were asleep, silly. ALICE

I was?

(looks around) Well, then that was the wildest dream! But I think I figured out who I am. I’m Alice. And I’m proud to be her. No matter what anybody else thinks. (MATHILDA hugs ALICE.) Good for you, Alice.

MATHILDA

ALICE Can I borrow your notebook? I need to write this story down.

(MATHILDA hands her notebook and pen to ALICE. ALICE immediately starts to write, a big smile on her face as she furiously scribbles everything down on the page.) MATHILDA Hey, Alice? I’d love to read it when you’re done. You do have an amazing imagination. ALICE
