Casa Manana's Alice in Wonderland

Today we took a wild ride down the rabbit hole with our PEACH home school friends to  Disney's Alice in Wonderland Jr. at Casa Mañana. The show is faithful to the 1951 Lewis Carroll classics, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, with a couple of exceptions: How did "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" from Song of the South and "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" from The Aristocats make their way into Alice's story?
Alice has her ups and downs (and way ups) thanks to little bottles of potion and magic cookies. While on her journey, she meets Wonderland's familiar residents, the Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the wacky and outrageous Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and all manner of singing, dancing, talking mushrooms, door knockers, flowers, animals and playing cards.
As always, Casa Mañana offers the best in children’s live theater in the Metroplex.  They are ever creative in their story interpretations, but always family friendly!  The kids loved the Mad Hatter, and have been quoting several of his lines since the performance.  We even Netflixed Johnny Depp’s version, just for fun!

On of the funniest character in today's performance was the Tweedles, Dee and Dum.  It was one actor with split wardrobe and personality!  Very funny! 

 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
