Theatre Review: Cirque Alice Redefines Wonderland With Acrobatic Magic

Cirque Alice is a gleefully bonkers, jaw-dropping circus spectacular that marries Alice in Wonderland whimsy with world-class acrobatics.

Expect gasps, giggles, and more than a few “how did they do that?!” moments in this dazzling stage experience.

A High-Flying Wonderland Reimagined

Step through the looking glass and into Cirque Alice, a high-octane reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic from the creative minds behind Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple and Broadway’s The Illusionists.

This is Wonderland redefined—a neon-bright, rhythm-fueled circus world packed with technical wizardry, cheeky humor, and enough gravity-defying stunts to keep you on the edge of your seat one moment and laughing the next.

Highlights That Defy Gravity

The show wastes no time showing off its prowess. The Cheshire Cat makes an unforgettable entrance, balancing effortlessly atop two counter-spinning wheels as if physics were merely a suggestion. The crowd holds its breath before erupting into cheers—a perfect opening statement.

Then comes one of the evening’s most mind-bending moments: a head-on-head balance act that evolves into a strolling duet. The top performer remains perfectly poised, statue-like, while the base walks with the casual ease of someone carrying a feathered hat. It’s precision, strength, and artistry rolled into one—classic circus skill with a modern twist.

Comic Relief and Heart

Balancing the breathtaking acrobatics is the Mad Hatter, who steals every scene with razor-sharp timing and slapstick brilliance. His comedic interludes aren’t mere filler—they set the show’s rhythm, offering just enough levity before the next heart-stopping act. Wonderland should always be a little unhinged, and the Hatter makes sure it’s also a lot of fun.

Production Design and Energy

Visually, Cirque Alice opts for sleek, story-forward design over excess spectacle. The stage transitions are punchy, the props wink at Carroll’s world without ever feeling cartoonish, and the sound design adds energy without overwhelming the artistry. Each act is tightly choreographed, beautifully lit, and perfectly paced—long enough to dazzle, never long enough to drag.

A Show for All Ages

Whether you’re a family looking for a weekend thrill or a couple seeking a unique date-night show, Cirque Alice delivers equal parts wonder and wow. Traditional circus fans will appreciate the nods to heritage disciplines, while newcomers will leave convinced that gravity is purely optional.

Why You’ll Be Talking About It

You’ll leave remembering the Cheshire Cat’s counter-spinning balance, that jaw-dropping head-to-head walk, and the Mad Hatter’s comedic genius—proof that laughter can be just as athletic as flight.

Cirque Alice doesn’t just retell Alice in Wonderland—it reimagines it as a high-flying, crowd-pleasing fever dream. It’s a circus spectacular that promises not to disappoint—and it keeps its word.
