WONDERLAND: A New Alice. A New Musical Adventure — featuring music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Jack Murphy, and a book by Gregory Boyd and Jack Murphy — will begin a Broadway run at the Marquis Theatre on March 21, 2011 in anticipation of an opening on April 17. Boyd will direct, with choreography by Marguerite Derricks.

The musical is a story about a new Alice who has lost her joy in life. Estranged from her husband, alienated from her daughter and in danger of losing her career, Alice finds herself in Wonderland where she encounters strange though familiar characters that help her rediscover the wonder in her life while searching for her daughter.

The musical will play a pre-Broadway engagement at the Ferguson Hall at the David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa, Florida January 4-16, 2011. A version of the musical premiered at the Straz Center in December 2009.

The cast and design team will be announced at a later date.
