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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This show depicts war, illness, and death, and some of the content may be triggering to those who struggle with these sensitive subjects.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
Actors should prepare a 30-60 second cut of a song from the show or in a similar style, and be prepared to read sides from the script. There will not be a dance audition for this show.
Please bring a list of any conflicts you may have during the rehearsal/performance process to include for the production staff.
