Vaudeville, burlesque, panto, farce and fantasy combine to make this Rudie-DeCarlo musical a no-holds-barred evening of hilarious theatre.
"A winning blend of vaudeville, pantomime, and English music hall" Drama-Logue
It's a wild and crazy ride as the all male All The Queen's Men company presents a "fabulous" re-invention of Lewis Carroll's wonderful Wonderland stories in a imaginative revival of the celebrated Rudie-DeCarlo musical Alice and the Fabulous Tea Party.
Set in a fabulously overdone and wild garden-themed Victorian salon, Alice (now a grown woman) returns to Wonderland at the invitation of her old friend, the Queen of Hearts. Once there, she finds that things are just as madcap and nonsensical as ever. Alice is put in charge of producing refreshments and entertainment, her search taking her on a delightful excursion through the world of puns, fantasy, and surreal humor that Lewis Carroll so intriguingly created.

A “jewel of a theatre” says Jewish Journal, Santa Monica Playhouse consistently creates some of “the brightest, most intelligent theatre in town.”
It's a perfect night out with all seats at $20, where everyone is invited to enjoy a glass of champagne to toast Lewis Carroll's 120th birth year!
