Synopsis

Christopher Wheeldon's adaptation of the Lewis Carroll novel all begins at a garden party on a sunny afternoon, Alice, played by Sarah Lamb is surprised to see a mysterious white rabbit. When she follows it down a hole, things get curiouser and curiouser...
This is exactly the kind of production that has the potential to instill a new generation with a lifelong fascination for ballet.  Not to say that Alice isn't magical for adults...Wheeldon's story telling skills are asserted from the very first scene.  Edward Watson co-stars as Lewis Caroll himself, and later returns as the White Rabbit, Zenaida Yanowsky plays Alice's mother, and later on the vicious Queen of Hearts, and finally Federico Bonelli who plays Jack the Gardener.

Our Review:

19 March 2013

Christopher Wheeldon's full-length foray into the fantastical world of Lewis Carroll is so rich in artistry, so waggishly silly, so clever and convivial and such perfect brain food for a child's imagination that it practically demands to be viewed in the presence of children.

So it’s a pity that Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - originally commissioned by the Royal Opera House in 2011 and currently in its second run - is not marketed as a children’s ballet, because this is exactly the kind of production that has the potential to instill a new generation with a lifelong fascination for ballet.

Not to say that Alice isn't magical for adults; it's the most fun I've had at the theatre in eons and Wheeldon's choreography moves at such a rip-roaringly rapid pace that it's impossible not to catch your breath as Alice tumbles from one absurd situation to the next.
