Based upon Lewis Carroll’s famous stories Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass, Maple Ballet is proud to present its acclaimed production of this much-loved childhood classic about Alice’s tumble down the rabbit hole into an enchanted and wacky dream world full of strange characters and magical adventures!

Featuring original choreography by award winning choreographer Charles Maple, this full-length story ballet matches opulent costumes, sumptuous scenery and a stunning array of special effects with comic charm and virtuoso dancing. Audiences will be captivated as they join Alice as she follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole, takes tea with the eccentric Mad Hatter, teases Tweedledee and Tweedledum, meets the Cheshire Cat and stands up to the infamous Queen of Hearts.

This production is an action-packed dream world transformed through the magic of dance into pure enchantment that will surprise and delight audiences young and old. This Alice promises to take you beyond the classic fairy tale in terms of cleverness, humor and originality and one will cannot help but leave the ballet with a bit of a Cheshire cat's grin!

Running Time: About two hours with intermission. Refreshments & snacks will be on sale, along with our spectacular boutique!
