Looking for talent ages 16 and up for the "Alice by Heart" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: 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 is determined to transport him to Wonderland by re-reading to him the book that has always bonded them, the story that she knows by heart – the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. As they travel through the tale, the lines between Alice’s two worlds begin to blur. 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 when the pages must keep turning… Additional info: Please prepare a song selection no longer than 2 minutes.
