Alice by Heart

Alice by Heart

A young girl takes refuge in a London Tube station during WWII and confronts grief, loss, and love with the help of her favorite book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Available for a limited time: Performances must happen by June 30, 2025.

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.

Please note: all materials will be delivered digitally; hard copy materials are not available for this title.

Licensing release

Hello! I am a student and I’ve been wanting to ask my school to do Alice By Heart since it was originally announced to be released (but since then the rights release date has been pushed back)- if there a definite date now of when the rights will be released or is it still sort of vague? Also, how long does it take on average for licensing requests to be approved?
