Painted Alice: The Musical

See it if you like new musicals for the sake of new musicals. Great concept yields little. Uneven cast makes the poor material barely tolerable.

Don't see it if you're expecting anything profound or insightful. It's shallow vapid and the music is painfully generic. Not worth the trip to LIC.

See it if Charming fun evening. Some portions hilarious. Be sure to leave time to see art exhibits in same building

Don't see it if You don’t go to Queens . Want more developed production.

See it if You like new work. New take on Alice. Fun ensemble. Two art galleries. You love art and artists. You can take the ferry to LIC- 5 min walk!

Don't see it if You don’t want to go to LIC. You want a standard stage with a curtain theatre. You don’t like art and artists angst

See it if into a pop-musical using the rabbit-hole as a metaphor for an artistic block

Don't see it if you like your musicals stuffy

Also Presented in a large gallery space in LIC, this work mashes well several artistic worlds. The concept of Alice, a present-day painter, as Alice of Wonderland is solid, and the direction is confident. The music and voices are strong with quite a few standout moments. There are touching scenes in between lots of well-executed humor, including a mermaid a-la-Bette-Midler. Quite a satisfying evening.... Read more Read less

See it if You like a modern twist to Alice and in wonderland.

Don't see it if Modern times often you easily and you don’t care for the whole Alice in wonderland story line

See it if you enjoy being a semi-part of the show or want to see a creative take on the art world through the lens of Alice in Wonderland.

Don't see it if you want a big-budget show, aren't okay with LGBT relationships, or want to see something lighthearted and family-friendly.

Also The gallery it's held in is positively incredible! Worth the trip to LIC for the art alone!... Read more Read less

See it if you are pursuing a career in the arts. Also, see it to experience good work by up and coming composers. The music is memorable.

Don't see it if If you want an elaborate, expensive production.Glitter, magic and the creative world possibilities of Alice are missing, but it’s a fun show

Also I’d score the show higher, but the concept is not original and if it weren’t for the good directing, acting, singing, etc., it would feel more like a high school production.

Costumes are missing. Glitter is missing. Creative lighting is wanted.
It’s Alice. If you choose to go into another world, take us into that different world. Think bigger, or finer.

The music is strong, though, as is the potential of the team. There are several, great, musical numbers anyone can use for auditions. There are also some clear, budding stars who I can see crossing over to tv/film.
Absolutely go experience this show. It is memorable and you’ll leave inspired and feeling good. I can’t wait to see what this company does next.
Also, if you are a young actor looking for good companies to work with, go see this.... Read more Read less

See it if you enjoy a fun musical reworking of Alice in Wonderful with great cast of hard working actors singing some memorable tunes.

Don't see it if you're not a fan of non traditional experimental theater with LGBT elements but still with some cool songs and funny dialog.

See it if score and musical performances were good

Don't see it if u dont like music

See it if You enjoy reimaginings with a unique perspective. The show is loosely structured around Alice In Wonderland with original music/book

Don't see it if Low production value performed in a gallery space not a theater. Sound and lighting suffer because of this making some things distracting.

See it if you like original musicals, and a few songs that are hummable. And you like to find a theater space wayyy in the back of an LIC gallery.

Don't see it if You don't care for original musicals, or walking wayyyy in the back of an LIC warehouse/art gallery to find the show.
