A superb
modern day retelling of the children’s classic Alice In Wonderland by Lewis
Carroll. It’s absolutely bonkers, as you should expect from this story by now.
Hailed by
critics as ‘nothing short of spine-tingling’, I must agree! The essence of the original
story is there, from Alice bored of her normal real-life dreaming of the desired
make-believe world to the White Rabbit and friends, this musical brings everything
to life beautifully. The powerful vocals of the leading ladies enchanted the
audience and carried us through the plot. The cast was outstanding and I
especially enjoyed Natalie McQueen as the Mad Hatter – my what a set of lungs
she has!!
The story is
modernised with Alice, single mum and her daughter living in a towerblock,
disillusioned, not knowing what to do or how to change. The musical takes us on
an adventurous exploration of who we are, with a few hilarious transformations through
the looking glass and a few topical jokes as well.
Look out
for a groooovy caterpillar, flares and all and a curiouser and curiouser stage
as we’re tumbling through the rabbit hole, the visuals were stunningly executed
and captured the wonder of this tale perfectly.
I have
finished my jam tart!
