Soaked from the rain, sore from squatting under a bathroom hand-dryer for twenty minutes, thirsty from all the screaming in my head...
Five minutes into the beguiling Lookingglass Alice, I had not only forgotten all my troubles, but apparently had also forgotten how old I was...giggling like a preteen and clapping my hands with glee.
The next hour and a half was a fanciful experience guaranteed to transform even the most cynical theatergoer into a grinning Cheshire cat.
Just when you think you've seen all a particular gag has to offer, the performers take it one step further...then they jump on it, bounce it up and down and squeeze out all the delicious juice they can muster. Serving it up to the audience on a silver tea tray.
Shoes gushing from the ceiling, colorfully choreographed dance numbers, gasp-inducing feats of acrobatics! Not to mention a sharply written story...the best safety net one could ask for.
Put yourself in Alice's shoes, discovering a tiny bottle labeled "Drink Me"...you know you can't resist an unforgettable adventure, so c'mon..."See It".
