Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<sup>©</sup>

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland © returns to take audiences back down the rabbit hole in February 2024. Translated from Lewis Carroll’s beloved book, Alice brings the eccentricities of the original story to the ballet stage in a tale suitable for the whole family. Watch as The Queen of Hearts rampages around her court, the White Rabbit shimmies his tail and the Caterpillar sparkles in 16 crystal-covered pointe shoes.
The Australian Ballet’s production of Alice won the 2018 Helpmann Award for Best Ballet and Best Female Dancer (Ako Kondo), and was nominated in four other categories, including Best Choreography, Best Scenic Design, Best Music Direction and Best Male.
“An extravaganza of the highest order” – Herald Sun

Frequently Asked Questions
View all FAQsWhat time do I need to arrive before a show?
We recommend that you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the performance starts – or earlier if you would like to enjoy a drink in one of the theatre’s licensed bars.
What if I'm late and the performance has started?
Live theatre has a ‘lock-out’ policy; a period after the curtain goes up when late-comers are not permitted to enter the auditorium. Lock-out periods are set by the production and vary from show to show. Patrons arriving late will be admitted when there’s a suitable break in the performance.
