So what is Alice in Wonderland: A Pantomime like? 🎩🌸⭐
Well, the story follows a pretty similar plot to the original 1860s classics by Lewis Carroll but with a few twists.
Pantomimes have a rich history in western theatre, celebrating larger than life acting, slapstick and comedy. But a satisfying pantomime must hold all of its larger-than-life material together with a good plot. A good way to do this? More rabbits!!
Alice in Wonderland: A Pantomime has no shortage of rabbits; funny rabbits, naughty rabbits and even the wrong rabbits 🐰🐰🐰. They dig holes in the plot and make way for Harry, Alice’s very own love interest! (Don’t say you didn’t want a love interest for her!!) ❤️
The wackiness, the whimsy, the wonderful illustrations of the original story inspired Ben Crocker to create a fresh take on it, embracing the unusualness of the original.⏰
And did we mention – new music by local Dunedin artists to accompany the show?
Are you convinced or just more confused? Best to book your tickets and find out more in-person we think!
