A new musical
By Glenn B. Rust
Adapted from the novel by Lewis Carroll
Lyrics by Glenn and Tony Rust

Follow Alice down the rabbit hole in this magical, musical retelling of Lewis Carroll’s beloved fantasy. Dashing after a mysterious white rabbit, Young Alice accidentally tumbles down, down, down into a most peculiar world. Wonderland is full of mad tea parties, nonsense poems, a croquet-playing Queen, and a Jabberwocky. Notably absent is a clear path home. As things become curiouser and curiouser, Alice relies on cryptic clues from The Caterpillar, Humpty Dumpty, and — of course — the Cheshire Cat while seeking her way. This adaptation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by a playwright who grew up at Cottage Theatre will appeal to you whether your own journey through the looking glass was last week or decades ago.
