From the Tony® and Grammy® award-winning creators of Spring Awakening, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, and co-written by Jessie Nelson (Waitress), Alice by Heart is an imaginative, moving musical inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
CenterStage Theatre Works is excited to present this immersive and creative production at Fairview Town Center, transforming a former retail space into a vibrant theatrical venue. This marks the second consecutive year we've brought art to this unique location, showcasing our commitment to innovative and non-traditional performance spaces. Join us as we redefine the boundaries of theatre in a setting that promises to engage and inspire.
About Alice By Heart: Young Alice Spencer escapes from her London bunker in the center of World War II and into her favorite book. During her adventure, Alice discovers that the line between reality and fantasy has blurred, forcing her to confront the world around her. What was an escape turns into reality, as she uses the story to come to terms with love, loss, dreams, and death in a time of war. As she starts to comfort those around her with the only story she knows “by heart,” Alice falls into Wonderland and finds that all of the people with her in the bunker with her have taken roles in her story. From the Red Cross Nurse who becomes the Queen of Hearts to Dodgy, the street urchin full of attitude, who becomes the Duchess, they all find themselves “down the hole” with Alice while she struggles with being a girl on the brink of adulthood who isn’t really sure she wants to grow up if it means losing people and things you love.
