All - Male Alice and The Fabulous Tea Party for Pride 2018 at Santa Monica Playhouse

It's a wild and crazy ride as the All the Queens's Men present a "fabulous" re-invention of Lewis Carroll's wonderful Wonderland stories in an imaginative musical Alice and the Fabulous Tea Party for Pride Month 2018. It's a perfect night out with all seats at $20, where everyone is invited to enjoy a glass of complimentary champagne or sparkling cider to toast Lewis Carroll's 120th birth year! Alice and the Fabulous Tea Party is a short run you don't want to miss, playing Friday and Saturday evenings at 9:30 pm June 1 to 30, 2018.

Vaudeville, burlesque, panto, farce and fantasy combine to make this a no-holds-barred evening of hilarious theatre. Set in a fabulously overdone and wild garden-themed Victorian salon, Alice (now a grown woman) returns to Wonderland at the invitation of her old friend, the Queen of Hearts. Once there, she finds that things are just as madcap and nonsensical as ever. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the world's most famous enantiomorphs have eaten all the food for the tea party, and the Queen is furious. Alice is put in charge of producing refreshments and entertainment, her search taking her on a delightful excursion through the world of puns, fantasy, and surreal humor that Lewis Carroll so intriguingly created. "A winning blend of vaudeville, English pantomime and music hall." DRAMA-LOGUE

A "jewel of a theatre" (Jewish Journal), Santa Monica Playhouse "knows what its audience expects from an evening of theatre" (LA TIMES). Based on the original musical "Alice and the Wonderful Tea Party" written by Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie ("Your work is brilliant!" English Shakespeare Company), Alice and the Fabulous Tea Party is re-imagined and performed by the Playhouse's All-Male Fairy Stories for Pride Company All the Queens Men: Ali Cesur, Luke Martin McMahan, Joseph Perez, Graham Silbert, and Nima Ghassemian as Alice. Beautiful and authentic costumes by Graham Silbert, magical special effects by Nima Ghassemian, and Eric Jon's ornately detailed Victorian garden-themed salon set create the perfect wonderland feel.
