Live from the Royal Ballet

Christopher Wheeldon’s full-length ballet based on Lewis Carroll’s book is an exuberant piece of storytelling featuring an instantly recognizable cast of characters, among them a tap-dancing Mad Hatter, a tetchy White Rabbit and a raucously bad-tempered Queen of Hearts.

Wheeldon, along with composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley, have created a genuine family ballet in the spirit of Carroll’s much-loved children’s classic. While regular ballet goers can appreciate nods to other famous works – there’s a parody of the Rose Adagio from The Sleeping Beauty, for example, with jam tarts instead of flowers – the ballet is above all a brilliant realization of Carroll’s zany dream-world featuring stunning choreography, a colourful score and ingenious stage-magic.

Because this is a live stream, the start time is under the control of the broadcaster so please arrive in good time. Late arrivals will only be admitted at the discretion of the management.

Unfortunately, due to injury, Lauren Cuthbertson has had to withdraw from dancing the role of Alice in the forthcoming live cinema broadcast, and will be replaced by Sarah Lamb.
