Reviews

"[Wheeldon] and his team have created an Alice whose wit, speed and invention have lifted the whole story ballet genre into the 21st century." The Guardian

"... a brilliantly theatrical, superbly designed (by Bob Crowley) extravaganza of color and costume, madcap action and fluent dance" New York Times

"spectacular family entertainment brought to life with enormous theatrical verve." The Times

"Wheeldon's casting of Cuthbertson... is inspired. With her hairband, willowy line and airy English style, she inhabits the role from the first." The Observer
