After the trip to the land of Oz from last year’s Wizard of Oz, Repertory Philippines’ Theater for Young Audiences will take viewers to a place of wonder beyond the enchanted rabbit hole as it stages this year’s children’s musical which is Alice in Wonderland starting this August 17, 2013 until December 15, 2013 at the Onstage Theater in Greenbelt 1, Makati.

Dani Gana as Alice

One of the most loved children’s tales for over 150 years, Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Caroll tells the story of a girl named Alice who stumbles upon an enchanted rabbit hole into a fantastic world inhabited by talking animals, objects and memorable characters like the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and the Queen of Hearts, among many others.

The version that the Repertory Philippines will stage is an adaptation with book by Jim Eiler, music by Jim Eiler and Jeanne Bargy and lyrics by Jim Eiler. Director Joy Virata says that this version of Alice in Wonderland will have catchy tunes and will be mostly sung, like an opera.
