The Story Travel down the rabbit hole and join Alice’s madcap adventures in Wonderland as she chases the White Rabbit, races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble - blowing Caterpillar, and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game! When the mysterious Cheshire Cat directs Alice to the Mad Hatter’s tea party, a wild game of musical chairs ensues. Alice soon finds herself in the Rose Garden, where the Royal Cardsmen are busy painting white roses red. When Alice awakens, she finds it was all a dream. But was it? The Rabbit’s watch is still in her pocket. The Songs

Ways To Expand There are lots of Wonderland characters you can add throughout the musical, including Flowers, Sea Creatures, Royal Cardsmen, etc. You can also have any number of children in the opening and closing scene in the park. Musical Difficulty There are quite a few solo numbers and solo lines in this score, which makes it one of the more challenging MTI JR. shows. However, this show is a great showcase for students of all different musical skill levels. Staging Demands This show allows for a great variety of staging in the crazy Wonderland world. Ideas for staging Alice falling through the rabbit hole are found in your Director’s Guide. Considerations Disney’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND JR. is the perfect show if you have large number of talented singers and actors. Because of the episodic nature of the show, every character will have their chance to be the focus of the story. The majority of the show takes place in Wonderland, which will allow you to be as creative as you can with the scenery, costumes and characters.
