ABOUT THE MUSICAL
A young girl, Alice Spencer, and her friend, Alfred, take refuge in a London Tube station during WWII and escape into the world of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. With a pop-rock score by the team that created Spring Awakening, Alice by Heart explores themes of grief, loss, imagination, and friendship.
