THE 5 & DIME, in partnership with SWOOP TROUPE,
and with support by DAVID & CECILIA CRISTOL, presents
ALICE BY HEART
book by Steven Sater and Jessie Nelson, music by Duncan Sheik, lyrics by Steven Sater
directed by Leland Locke, musical direction by Anvar Gashimov, choreographed by Lucy Graff
It’s just a dream, but dreams can free your mind.
From the creators of Spring Awakening, Alice by Heart is a bold reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, set in an air raid shelter during the London Blitz and pulsing with indie-rock energy, aching nostalgia, and wild theatricality. A testament to the power of imagination during the darkest of times.
“A fantastical, magical mystery tour with Noel Coward-ish wit, and dreamy songs which suggest the Beatles’ hallucinogenic period.” — The New York Times
