Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Showing December 16

Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will open at the Royal Opera House on December 16, 2014. 


From the Press Release
Opens in US Theatres on December 16, 2014
Running time: 205 minutes

Tumble down the rabbit hole this holiday season with an as-live performance of Christopher Wheeldon’s magical Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Premiering on the 150th anniversary of the cherished classic book, Wheeldon’s spectacular ballet is a feast for the senses, bringing to life Lewis Carroll’s famous story with a menagerie of colors and ingenious stage magic. Starring Boston native Principal dancer Sarah Lamb in the role of Alice, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland features a host of familiar characters including the gardeners’ boy, Federico Bonelli, who later becomes her Knaves of Hearts with a blissful pas de deux, the ferocious Queen of Hearts, the jittery White Rabbit and the quirky tap-dancing Mad Hatter. This exuberant ballet also features Washington, D.C. Soloist dancer Eric Underwood in the role of the Caterpillar. The familiar story is reimagined with quirky designs by Bob Crowley as we follow Alice into Wonderland across a lake of tears, playing croquet with flamingos and hedgehogs and attending a deranged tea party. Drawing upon a wealth of theatrical effects, projection and puppetry are used to visualize the grinning Cheshire Cat and sinuous Caterpillar with his 16 legs of ballet dancers en pointe creating a mesmerizing world of enchantment.

Fathom Events is bringing the as-live event to US cinemas on December 16 (local showtimes here: http://www.fathomevents.com/event/roh1415-alices-adventures-in-wonderland), with Alternative Content bringing encore performances to theaters throughout January 2015 (local showtimes here: http://rohcinema.com/).
