ALICE … the Musical
Music and lyrics by James Leisy and Carl
Eberhard, book by James Leisy
Synopsis
Loosely based on the famous 'Alice'
stories by Lewis Carroll, this delightful adaptation
portrays the plucky Alice accidentally finding her
way into a bewildering plot, as she follows the White
Rabbit from a seat in the audience! After much frustration
and intriguing encounters with such popular characters
as Tweedledum and Tweedledee she gains entry to Wonderland
itself, where her adventures include playing croquet
with the volatile Queen. A remarkable show brimming
with memorable songs. Ideal for middle and secondary
schools.
