(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre presents Alice By Heart with three performances from August 12-13, 2026. From the Tony and Grammy Award-winning creators of Spring Awakening (Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik) and co-written by Jessie Nelson (Waitress) this is a touching musical inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
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. This musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.
The cast features Lillian Irene (Alice Spencer) and Peter Piccini (Alfred Hallam) with Jordyn Barry, Chloe Baubonis, Piper Berkowitz, Gary Carter, Tess Cathey-Jordan, McKenzie Clarke, Katie Gilliland, William Groves, Mackenna Healy, Asher Byland, Florence Jones, Asher Mendelhssohn, Gavin Prikril, Zoe Prikril, Haley Patrushun, Mia Smith, Nora Bella Stern-Kushner, Penelope Shayne Stern-Kushner, Riley Thim, Annie Weiss, Maya Woolf, and Maya Wund.
