SUMMER REPERTORY SERIES 2025
Alice by Heart is new a musical with music by Duncan Sheik, lyrics by Steven Sater, and book by Sater with Jessie Nelson
Directed by Prof. Dobby and Music Direction by Julie Johnson '98
The musical takes place in 1941, in the debris after the London Blitz of World War II. The life of teen Alice Spencer is disrupted, as she and her best friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in a London Underground tube station. However, Alfred, suffering from tuberculosis, is quarantined. Alice urges him to escape with her into their cherished book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and travel down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Nurse Cross, who is in charge of keeping everyone safe, rips Alice's book as a punishment for visiting Alfred despite his quarantine. Alice becomes very defiant and declares she knows it "by heart" and will read to him anyway.
