Qlocal was invited to the opening night of the hit musical "Wonderland" at the Liverpool Empire.
Alice has changed from the character in the Lewis Carroll’s books.
Alice is now a downtrodden single mum living on an estate in modern day Britain and having a particularly bad day. It’s her 40th birthday , she receives news of her ex-husband’s remarriage, her car is stolen and she’s sacked from for being late.
So, when a white rabbit appears to her and her daughter Ellie, they decide to disappear down the rabbit hole - or rather plummet down towards Wonderland in the out of order lift of their high rise block of flats - with their neighbour Jack.
TV and West End star Wendi Peters, much loved for her acclaimed portrayal of Cilla Battersby-Brown in Coronation Street, will headline the UK tour of Wonderland as Queen of Hearts alongside musical theatre favourite Dave Willetts, who has previously starred in tours of South Pacific, 42nd Street and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, as White Rabbit.
West End and Broadway leading lady Kerry Ellis, best known for playing Elphaba in the West End and Broadway productions of Wicked, will guest star as Alice.
Following sold out seasons in Tampa, Texas and Tokyo, the multi Grammy and Drama Desk Award nominated Frank Wildhorn’s Wonderland receives its UK and European première in this brand new British production.
Hailed by the New York Times as “inspirational”, Wonderland is an enchanting musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, with a huge heart, a medley of magic and a whole lot of wonder.
