About Alice In Wonderland The Musical
Adapted for the stage with music and lyrics by Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman—with direction by RTYA Creative Director Joy Virata and Cara Barredo—this new take on the beloved story is going to whisk audiences down the rabbit hole and into a land filled with zany characters, mad tea parties, flamingo croquet, and tap-dancing playing cards.
The vibrant showcase brings together all the colorful characters from Carroll’s cherished books, namely Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass: the ever-curious Alice, the eccentric Mad Hatter, the frantic White Rabbit, the bumbling Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the clever Caterpillar, the melancholic Mock Turtle, the mysterious Cheshire Cat, and of course, the domineering Queen of Hearts.
Meet The Eclectic Cast Of Characters
A stellar ensemble of actors has been cast to bring these iconic characters to life. The role of Alice will be shared by Reese De La Vega Iso, Justine Narciso, and Cheska Quimno. The Queen will be played by Cara Barredo, Pinky Marquez, and Mayen Bustamante-Cadd. The musical’s Mad Hatter are Hans Eckstein and Gerhard Krysstopher, while The White Rabbit will be portrayed by Steven Hotchkiss and Gabo Tiongson.
Joining them are Vino Mabalot and Jay Pangilinan as the Mock Turtle; Stephen Viñas and Sebastian Katigbak as the Cheshire Cat (a role Krysstopher will also perform); Yhuan Gatbunton and Lance Soliman as the Caterpillar; Drew Bustamante and Paul Atienza as Tweedle Dum; Katie Bradshaw and Ornella Brianna as Tweedle Dee; Ayam Eckstein and Jay Barrameda as the Doormouse; Kenny Isidoro and Johann Parungao as the March Hare; Karl Navato as the Dodo Bird (alternating with Pangilinan); and Vinz Castillo and Sean Nolasco as the Knave of Hearts.
Also filling the stage with fun and laughter are the ensemble composed of Coleen Paz, Jacqui Jacinto, Jiliana Tavares, Julia Panlilio, Lucylle Tan, Monica Tulio, Tanja Santos, Astro, DJ Buban, Deo Dela Cruz, Jae Valencia, VJ Cortel, and Keith Campus.
