Behind the Scenes

Take a special look at our rehearsal process

It’s just a dream, but dreams can free your mind.

​

From the creators of Spring Awakening, Alice by Heart is a bold reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, set in an air raid shelter during the London Blitz and pulsing with indie-rock energy, aching nostalgia, and wild theatricality. A testament to the power of imagination during the darkest of times.

​

“A fantastical, magical mystery tour with Noel Coward-ish wit, and dreamy songs which suggest the Beatles’ hallucinogenic period.”

 

— The New York Times
