Script Synopsis
A new full-length musical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Lost in My Wonderland finds Alice in 1899, falling through a rabbit hole and magically into the future. She travels through decade after decade, meeting familiar Wonderland characters throughout her journey. Ending in the Swinging ’60s, this musical fantasy takes audiences through the Roaring ’20s, Hollywood of the ’30s, Big Band ’40s, and the Beatnik ’50s with a myriad of dance styles featuring the delightful residents of Wonderland!
Lost in My Wonderland received its first full-scale production in 2016 at Long Island’s Madison Theatre under the direction of international choreographer Baayork Lee (the original Connie in A Chorus Line).
“Everyone will walk away with a powerful message — to believe in yourself,” said composer York. “We all walk to a different beat, and that’s what makes the world great. It’s a wonderful adventure, and the audience will enjoy sharing Alice’s discoveries as she goes into the future. Of course, there’s dancing and singing all the way through. When I write, I think of a Broadway musical. When people think of Alice in Wonderland, they think of a kids’ show, but this one isn’t. Adults love it, and kids love it. There’s something for everyone, but it’s not just a kid’s show.”
