Travel down the rabbit hole and join Alice, one of literature’s most beloved heroines, in her madcap adventures. This fast-paced take on the classic tale features updated songs from Disney’s thrilling animated motion picture, Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.
The ever-curious Alice’s journey begins innocently enough as she chases the White Rabbit. Her adventures become increasingly more strange as she races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game!
You won’t want to miss out on this classic tale portrayed by our high school, middle school, and elementary campers. You’ll see many a Cheshire Cat and dozens of other wonderfully wacky characters that showcase students of all different musical skill levels. There will also be a chorus of kids playing in the park, rock lobsters, talking fish, royal cardsmen, unbirthday partiers, and much more.
