Masterworks Broadway will record Wonderland – A New Alice. A New Musical on Sunday, March 6 for an anticipated May 2011 release. The Broadway musical — featuring music by Frank Wildhorn with a book by Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy, and lyrics by Murphy — will begin previews at the Marquis Theatre on March 21, and open on April 17.
A new spin on the classic story of Alice and her Looking-Glass world, Wonderland is about a modern-day woman who goes on a life-changing adventure far below the streets of New York City, where a colorful cast of strange but familiar characters help her rediscover what’s really important.
The production is directed by Gregory Boyd, with choreography by Marguerite Derricks. It stars Janet Dacal as Alice, Darren Ritchie as White Knight, E. Clayton Cornelious as Caterpillar, Jose Llana as El Gato, Karen Mason as Queen of Hearts, Kate Shindle as Mad Hatter, Carly Rose Sonenclar as Chloe, Edward Staudenmayer as White Rabbit and Danny Stiles as Morris.
The ensemble includes April Berry, Grady McLeod Bowman, Joey Calveri, Sae La Chin, Mallauri Esquibel, Derek Ferguson, Wilkie Ferguson, Laura Hall, Natalie Hill, Lauren Lim Jackson, Morgan James, Ryan Link, Kate Loprest, Renee Marino, Heather Parcells, Stefan Raulston, Julius Anthony Rubio, and Tanairi Vasquez.
Wildhorn will produce the original cast album, along with David Lai and Jason Howland.
