no but when alice says “the caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces” she’s confessing she doesn’t want to grow up without him, but then alfred sings “but the butterflies go floating all the same,” reassuring her she’s gonna be okay and blossom regardless
after reading alice in wonderland, all criticisms about alice by heart being confusing are now invalid as that book does not have a single moment of coherency
[Image ID: An ‘Alice by Heart poster. In the middle near the top is an illustrated gold pocket watch ‘Alice By Heart’ is is red text above it. Under the clock there is white text that reads “A New Musical. A white curtain behind it that splits the background into two sections.” Over the curtain is a grey top of a stone subway/ tube tunnel. Underneath the curtain is a collage of John Tenniel Illustrations over illegible text and an illustation of a rose garden. At bottom over the visuals is white text which reads: “Booth Theater/ 222 West 45th Street” with ‘www.alicebyheart.com’ under it in smaller text. On the curtain reads ‘Book by Steven Sater & Jessie Nelson. Lyrics by Steven Sater. Music by Duncan Sheik’. /End ID]
I just think it’s an interesting show even with its flaws. Also John Tenniel made some pretty good Illustrations for collageing: I did try to pick ones significant to the show though! (The blurred text is from the first chapter of Alice in Wonderland)
Note: I picked a random broadway theater on a list I found it has not run at the Booth Theater as of 2021.
[Image Id: Loose watercolor and pencil illustration of Alice Spencer, in a blue dress and brown hair, and Alfred Hallam, in the white rabbit suit jacket and vest, in front of a white fence with roses on it. They are holding hand and smiling at one another. Alice has one hand on the fence behind her. The sky is blue and they are on grass. There is a small golden key at the bottom and green text that reads: ‘My Lovely Rose Garden.’
To the right is Alice in a blue dress and red cardigan with her hand on her hip and eye closed with a pleased expression. Parts of the first sentance of Alice in Wonderland are in the background. End ID]
Cant get the scanners to work so anyway Alice By Heart loose Sketch. Kinda fits for ABH month. What a mess of a show i love most of it.
