Alice by Heart
EHS Drama Club, performances Nov 21 - 24, 2024
Music by Duncan Sheik
Lyrics by Steven Sater
Book by Steven Sater with Jessie Nelson
With pop-contemporary music composed by the same team who created Spring Awakening: "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. The musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.”
