“Alice in Wonderland” is a novel for children by British author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, under the pen name Lewis Carroll. Published in 1886, it is one of the most well-known and popular works of fiction in English.

The musical is set in Wonderland, an imaginary world containing a lot of magic, where Alice accidentally strays to run after the White Rabbit. There, she has an exciting adventure and meets many new friends.

In Wonderland, Alice from a shy girl becomes a brave, responsible and brilliant warrior. She and her friends fight against the Jabberwock monster, the Queen of Hearts and her army.
