Synopsis:Amidst the chaos of London during the Blitz in 1941, 15 year old Alice Spencer finds solace in her imagination. Seeking refuge in an underground Tube station, she clings to her beloved book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and uses its world as an escape for herself and her quarantined, ailing friend Alfred. As the lines between fantasy and reality blur, Alice by Heart explores themes of love, loss, and resilience, reminding us of the transformative power of storytelling even in the darkest times.

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.
