The story is based on Alice in Wonderland

Frank Wildhorn is known for the wide range of topics of his musicals. His most known musicals are Jekyll and Hyde, Bonnie and Clyde, Death Note and Your Lie in April, which recently has a run on West End.

Wonderland retells the classic story of Alice in Wonderland through to a young woman Alice, who lives in New York City, struggling to keep up with a failing marriage, motherhood, and a demanding job. Her mental health is reaching the level when she is challenging her own identity. In her dreams, she identifies herself as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, in an alternative reality, meanwhile working through obstacles of unexpected characters: a Cheshire Cat with a Latin flair, a delightfully dotty Queen of Hearts, and of course, a malicious Mad Hatter. With the help of her dream, Alice finds her balance and strength again, and she realizes the power of true love.
