About the Musical:
A new musical inspired by Lewis Carroll’s timeless Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice by Heart is set in London during World War II. As bombs fall outside, Alice Spencer encourages her friend Alfred to journey with her into their beloved book for comfort and escape. Through this fantastical world, they confront themes of love, loss, imagination, and the power of stories to carry us through even the darkest times. Written by Steven Sater and Jessie Nelson, with music by Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening), the show is praised for its poignant storytelling and hauntingly beautiful score.

Alice by Heart opened Off-Broadway in 2019 at the MCC Theater, and was hailed by The New York Times as, "A fantastical, magical mystery tour with ingenuous costumes, Noel Coward-ish wit, and dreamy songs…with echoes of music from Spring Awakening." Due to its themes and content, the production is considered PG-13 and recommended for more mature audiences.
