Full Synopsis
Alice enters a park with her sister Mathilda, and they are quickly joined by a large group of Park Kids.
While the Park Kids play, Alice explores and Mathilda reads from a history book ("Dodgsonland –
Part 1"). Mathilda chastises Alice, who wonders aloud when she will find her purpose ("Dodgsonland
– Part 2"). As Alice begins to fall asleep, the Cheshire Cat tells the audience of the wonders Alice will
experience on her journey.

At the beckoning of the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit rushes by, lamenting that he is running late
("I'm Late"). Alice follows him to the edge of his rabbit hole and jumps in as the inhabitants of
Wonderland fall past her, offering advice ("Very Good Advice").
Alice lands in front of a very small door. The Doorknob suggests that Alice eat and drink magical
items to change her size. In the midst of her growing and shrinking, she cries an ocean of tears and is
able to swim through the keyhole into Wonderland. A boat carrying a Dodo Bird and a bunch of Sea
Creatures rows past ("Ocean of Tears" / "Smallification 2"), and once they all wash ashore, the Dodo
Bird initiates a caucus race so that everyone can dry off ("The Caucus Race").
The White Rabbit runs by again ("I'm Late – Reprise") and Alice tries to follow him, but runs into
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. The Tweedles explain how to properly greet someone ("How D'Ye
Do and Shake Hands"), but end up confusing everyone in the process. Alice sneaks away and finds
the White Rabbit at his home and, after eating a magical cookie, ends up wearing his house as a
dress.
After shrinking again, Alice comes upon Rose, Lily, Petunia, Daisy,
and Violet, the Flowers of the Golden Afternoon. Alice longs to join their club, but the Flowers
cruelly turn her away ("The Golden Afternoon"). A wise Caterpillar comes upon a very sad Alice and
encourages her to get in touch with her inner fabulousity ("Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah"). Afterwards, Alice
meets the magical Cheshire Cat, who sends her off to a tea party.
When Alice arrives, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Party Guests are celebrating their unbirthdays
("The Unbirthday Song"). The White Rabbit runs by, still late ("I'm Late – Reprise 2"), and the Mad
Hatter and March Hare try to fix his watch, with disastrous results.
Alice follows the White Rabbit into the Royal Rose Garden and runs into a strange sight — the Royal
Cards are painting the roses red ("Painting the Roses Red"). The Queen of Hearts and King of Hearts
appear, and the Queen chastises the Royal Cards ("Painting the Roses Red – Reprise"). When the
Queen of Hearts notices Alice, she challenges her to a game of Simon Says ("Simon Says").
Alice, much to everyone's surprise, beats the Queen at her own game. The King proposes a trial for
Alice as an alternative to an immediate beheading. Witnesses condemn Alice, including the Mad
Hatter and March Hare, who make sure to wish the Queen a happy unbirthday ("The Unbirthday
Song – Reprise").

At the last minute, the Caterpillar appears to remind Alice of her inner fabulousity and asks her to
dig deep and answer: "Whooo are youuu?" Alice, pondering the question, realizes that who she
really is... is Alice ("Whooo Are Youuu?"). Waking up back in the park, Alice excitedly relays this
discovery to Mathilda and discovers the White Rabbit's watch in her pocket. Alice, Mathilda, and the
Park Kids celebrate Alice's newfound identity ("Finale").

Character Breakdown
Alice
Alice, Small Alice and Tall Alice are differently sized versions of the show's titular inquisitive and
intrepid young girl. On a journey of self-discovery, the adventurous Alice has the heart of an
explorer and instincts of a leader. Even when frustrated or confused, she's awfully charming, so
cast an actor who can command the stage. Of the three, Alice carries the heft of the singing solors,
so be sure to cast a strong singer for this starring role. Small Alice participates in a few musical
numbers that might require good movement and dance skills. Tall Alices appears for a few cameo-
style moments. While there are ways to adjust heights of the actors through creative costuming,
keeping heights of the actors through creative costuming, keeping track of the actors heights in
auditions can help simplify the design of your production.

The Cheshire Cat (1, 2 and 3)
The Cheshire Cat (1, 2, and 3) is the perpetually grinning narrator of the story, a magical feline who
doesn't always agree with itself. Because this role is played by three actors, consider auditioning
potentials together to get a sense of their chemistry, but above all, cast charismatic actors who can
play mischievous and mysterious to both Alice and the audience.
Gender: Any

The White Rabbit is the fussy royal trumpeter, ever-worried that he is running terribly late. Look for

Mad Hatter
The Mad Hatter is the life of the (tea) party and has a penchant for making up rules. Delightfully
eccentric, the Mad Hatter has a flair for the theatrical and very little focus. While this role requires a
singing solo, the actor can speak-sing if needed, so focus on finding someone who relishes the
nonsensical fun of this charismatic character.
Gender: Any
Vocal range top: Bb4

Caterpillar
Caterpillar is Alice's wise and fabulous mentor. In fact, if she had a fairy godmother, this cool
Caterpillar would be it. As a triple threat, this soon-to-be butterflu should be played by an actor with
the vocal chops, the moves, and the magnetism to woo anyone in Wonderland.
Gender: Any

Dodo Bird
The Dodo Bird is the imperious captain of the Queen's Navy, leads the caucus race. Cast an actor
with a commanding presence and a suitable singing voice for this soloist.
Gender: Any
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: C4
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are twins with an identity crisis and an exhausting enthusiasm for
proper manners. Superfluously silly, the Tweedles are a comedy duo a la Abbot & Costello and
Laurel & Hardy, so ensure their comic timing and chemistry by auditioning potentials in pairs.

The Flowers
The Flowers (Rose, Petunia, Lily, Violet, Daisy) are a stuck-up group of pleasing perennials. While
only five have lines, cast many as you would like to fill out this singing ensemble.

March Hare
The March Hare is the Mad Hatter's chummy sidekick, enjoys a good party. Just slightly more
rational than the Mad Hatter, the March Hare lets the frenetic Hatter lead the way, while never
passing up the chance to play a silly game.

Ensemble
The Ensemble (Park Kids, Sea Creatures, Royal Cards, Party Guests, etc.) is your show's primary
group of performers from which you will cast the Featured Roles and other, perhaps smaller,
Ensemble Groups. Be sure to select strong singers - as few or as many as your production requires -
as all ensembles require group singing. The Featured Roles call for either solo singing or solo acting,
or both (refer to the chart on the next page for specifics). Often in this story, the Primary
Storytellers will become members of the Ensemble during numbers in which they are not featured.

Mathilda
Mathilda is Alice's scholarly sister, has no time for silly games. Cast an actor who can portray both
the no-nonsense attitude and the affection of a protective older sister. This role, which only
appears in the first and final scenes, can easily double as a Wonderland Character ensemble role if
desired.
Gender: Female
Doorknob
The Doorknob is the gatekeeper of Wonderland, knowingly encourages Alice to drink the magic
potion. Look for an actor with a tendency toward the dramatic who can capture Doorknob's put-
upon demeanor.
Gender: Any
King Of Hearts
The King of Hearts, the Queen's partner, has a timid demeanor until taking expert command of
Alice's trial. Since he does not appear until later in the show, he may also double as a different
Wonderland Character as needed - just be sure the audience doesn't see his King costume until he
enters with the Queen.
Gender: Male
