Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: The Show of the Year


The National Ballet of Canada production is of the classic tale, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It is a reflection of the famous Alice stories themselves - fun, completely imaginative and filled with unexpected moments of awe. Very artistic and ingenious (at least that’s how I think it is). Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a spectacular ballet performance, which has made a big ‘buzz’, in the world of ballet. Although it’s not one of the top 10 most popular productions, it’s still pretty well known. This production has been famously known for its stunning special effects. Such as the Cheshire cat, it moves, and looks almost real, when it interacts with other people. There are many other special effects in the performance too like, when Alice is in the shrinking room, it actually looks like either she’s getting bigger or the room is getting smaller (this might have attracted more people.)

This performance has lured in so many people to view this performance. In fact, I know that 10 friends of mine, went to see this, and they all said it was truly amazing. My reaction to that is that, this production must truly be getting lots of profit off of this.  But even if it’s getting lots of profit off it, that also indicates at least some culture, within this area (which is a good thing).

What the news has to say:
The Star: “The National Ballet of Canada’s production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a smash hit during its June 2011 premiere run in Toronto, returns this weekend for another premiere of sorts.”

Toronto Sun: “It may be a familiar story, but chances are you’ve never seen Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland told quite this way.”

The Telegraph: “This reworked, first-anniversary revival of Christopher Wheeldon's fantasy ballet provides a mind-boggling evening's entertainment.

This in conclusion shows that this was a spectacular performance, and I know I’m not the only one who thinks that, by the looks of the thousands of people that saw this too
