METROPOLITAN PERFORMING ARTS presents
Alice by Heart
“A fantastical, magical mystery tour!” -New York Times
Metropolitan Performing Arts invites audiences to journey down the rabbit hole with Alice by Heart, the poignant and magical musical from Grammy and Tony award-winning creators, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening), with book co-written by Jessie Nelson (Waitress). Performances run May 9-25, 2025 at Metropolitan Performing Arts.
Set in the war torn underground of World War II London, Alice by Heart reimagines Lewis Carroll’s classic tale as a story of love, loss, and the healing power of imagination. As bombs fall and a city crumbles, Alice and her ailing friend Alfred find escape and solace in the world of her favorite book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But as reality and fantasy blur, Alice must learn how to face grief, change, and the bittersweet complexities of growing up.
Directed by Kris Heller, with Music Direction by Melissa Sondergeld-Hood, Choreography by Chynna Rae Shurts and Conducted by Alex Trull, Alice by Heart combines dreamlike storytelling with a powerful indie-pop score. The production showcases a talented young cast, including Molly Jung (Alice), Emerson Skogen (White Rabbit), Brenna Comastro (Red Queen), Aidan Hefely (Mad Hatter), Sabrina Fricchione (Cheshire Cat). Along with an outstanding ensemble, they bring this hauntingly beautiful story to life with inventive staging, dynamic choreography, and heartfelt performances.
Founded in 2009, Metropolitan Performing Arts is dedicated to producing thought-provoking and innovative works that challenge and inspire audiences. With a focus on education and accessibility, MPA has become a cornerstone of the local arts community.
Metropolitan Performing Arts will present Alice by Heart, the poignant and magical musical from Grammy and Tony award-winning creators, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik. Learn more and see how to purchase tickets.
