T he story of Alice in Wonderland has never been presented quite as dynamically as it is being recounted at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County through August 16. The Arsht and Lookingglass Theatre Company just debuted the Florida premiere of Lookingglass Alice, a spectacular journey into Alice’s magical world complete with gravity-defying thrills and breathtaking theatricality, as its marquee presentation for summer 2015.
Set and experienced entirely on the Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House Lynn Wolfson stage, Lookingglass Alice flew into Miami on July 8 after a recent critically-acclaimed and extended run in Chicago. Lookingglass Alice is a circus tribute to Lewis Caroll created by Lookingglass Theatre Company, a 2011 Regional Theater Tony Award-winning group of multi-disciplined ensemble of artists including founding member, movie and television star David Schwimmer.
