Music by Duncan Sheik
Lyrics by Steven Sater
Book by Steven Sater and Jessie Nelson

From the Tony® and Grammy® award-winning creators of Spring Awakening, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, and co-written by Jessie Nelson (Waitress), Alice by Heart is a touching musical inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.

As they travel through the tale, Alice by Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward. This world premiere musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

FEES: $1450 + HST

Note: We will be holding approximately four music rehearsals in June so artists learn the music with their creative team and then have time to memorize their material before staging rehearsals in August. We will also be having full company rehearsal and smaller rehearsal calls during this time to ensure everyone has time to learn their music.

Please click here to download the Tentative Rehearsal Schedule*. 

• Student call times will fluctuate pending the production’s needs. Eg. Students may be called for an entire rehearsal or may not be called at all.
• Students will be verified in advance of any schedule changes/extended call times

We invite all interested artists between 14-19 yrs who are excited and ready for a fast-paced intensive program that challenges and grows their skills to audition!
