Wonderland, a new spin on the classic story of Alice and her Looking-Glass world, opens April 17 on Broadway in New York at the Marquis Theatre.

Featuring a fresh, contemporary pop score from the creator of Jekyll and Hyde, Wonderland arrives on Broadway this spring following two sold-out national stage premieres.

In this innovative and exhilarating new musical, Alice is a modern-day woman who goes on a life-changing adventure in her Looking-Glass world which is found far below the streets of New York City. Here she meets a colorful cast of strange but familiar characters that help her discover what's really important.

The book is by Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy, lyrics by Jack Murphy, music by Frank Wildhorn, choreography by Marguerite Derricks and direction by Gregory Boyd.
