The performance features many updated versions of songs from the original 1951 animated film. Disney’s "Alice in Wonderland JR." is more a a sped up tale. This version is totally updated, upgraded and ready for some fun adventure. And it's about an hour long.

Alice’s curious adventure starts off innocently enough as she goes chasing the old White Rabbit. Her adventures become increasingly more strange as she races off down the hole after the Dodo Bird. Plus, she gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, she then collaborates with the highly talented Caterpillar and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game.

There are plenty of whacky characters like three Cheshire Cats and dozens of other strange characters, providing lots of opportunities to showcase all the different musical skill levels that kids have.
