GSL’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ opens Friday night

Glencoe-Silver Lake High School takes a trip down the rabbit hole Friday with the opening of its fall musical “Alice in Wonderland” Friday  at 7 p.m. in the GSL High School Auditorium. A second performance will be Saturday, also at 7 p.m.
The performance, familiar to many from Disney’s adaption and the book by Lewis Carroll, follows Alice, a young daydreamer who dislikes books and craves adventure. She finds it when a very late White Rabbit rushes past her.
Alice follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland. Her adventures there introduce her to a variety of strange characters, from the Cheshire cat(s) to the Queen of Hearts. Wonderland, however, is nothing like she imagined it, and before long Alice only wants to return home, if she could only find her way.
Musical numbers are “Alice in Wonderland/In a World of My Own,” “I’m Late,” “Very Good Advice,” “The Caucus Race,” “How D’ye You Do and Shake Hand,” “The Golden Afternoon,” “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,” “The Unbirthday Song,” “Painting the Roses Red,” “Whooooo are Youuuuu,” and “Alice in Wonderland - Finale.”
“Alice in Wonderland” is directed by Catherine Miller.
The musical will be performed at the GSL High School Auditorium on Nov. 13-14 and Nov. 20-21 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. Adult tickets are $6 and students are $4.
