Premiered with an elaborate production by the Dallas Theater Center, this two-act musical can magically turn your stage into a wonderland. The play deals honestly with Lewis Carroll's stories and characters—even Alice's fall down the rabbit hole. Sally Netzel has created unlimited opportunities for imaginative costumes, props, scenery, and lighting, and Beatrice Wolf's music inspires wonderful ideas for choreographing various scenes. Alice's slow-motion fall down the rabbit hole is cleverly solved by the use of projections on a scrim and entrance to the animal burrow by a sliding ramp, down which Alice may slide and tumble.

The show may be shortened by omitting episodes.Doubling possible to reduce cast size.

"When Lewis Carroll wrote his children's classic...he probably had no idea that it would lend itself to a musical treatment. But thanks to Sally Netzel and Beatrice Wolf it has, and very neatly...Here is theater that the kids can grab—it's tuneful, colorful and peopled with characters they can understand."—Dallas Morning News. The same reviewer noted that the adults in the audience were as delighted as the children: "By all means take the kids to Theater Center...They'll love it and so will you."

"Enclosed please find payment for 10 performances of Alice in Wonderland. We thank you for the opportunity to do one of your quality productions." —Kevin J. Sheehan, West End Dinner Theatre, Alexandria, Va. "Outstanding play. The already delightful whimsical humor of Carroll's story is further enhanced by stage antics, excellent music and engaging lyrics, and sophisticated satire."—Plays for Children and Young Adults.
