In a contemporary re-imagining of the classic Lewis Carrol tale, Wonderland is Frank Wildhorn's new musical, currently touring venues around the UK until August.

WONDERLAND is delighting audiences throughout the UK. It's an enchanting musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, with a huge heart, a medley of magic and a whole lot of wonder.
