Get ready to be dazzled this spring 2024! Disneyland Paris is unveiling a brand-new show centered around Alice in Wonderland at Walt Disney Studios Park from May 25 to September 29, 2024. Titled Alice & The Queen of Hearts back to Wonderland, this production promises a modern and extravagant interpretation of the classic tale, with a unique participatory twist. Having seen the preview, we're excited to share our thoughts!
Disneyland Paris immerses visitors in the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland with this new pop-rock show, inspired by Broadway musicals. Running three times a day for 30 minutes, the show delivers a colorful and offbeat experience. It's not just a visual feast; it's a full sensory overload with BMX stunts, live singing, dancing, and acrobatics, creating a dynamic and energetic atmosphere.
One of the standout features of this show is its interactivity. Visitors are not mere spectators but play a crucial role in the story's outcome. With a central stage and various set pieces ensuring visibility from all angles, everyone can engage in the action. The use of a trampomur, a 14-meter-long trampoline, BMX performances, and multiple video screens keeps the energy high and the audience captivated.
From the first moment, the vibrant set design explodes with color and creativity, immediately transporting the audience to a modern urban Wonderland. The combination of container-style decor and urban garden elements adds a fresh twist to the classic aesthetic. The show itself is a whirlwind of activity, with singing, dancing, BMX tricks, and pyrotechnics blending seamlessly. The 30-minute runtime feels perfectly paced, leaving no room for boredom.
The music is a mix of new creations and classic Disney tunes, revamped to fit the show's modern vibe. Songs like Welcome to Wonderland and reimagined versions of Un matin de mai fleuri are both catchy and fitting. Alice's songs lean towards pop, while the Queen of Hearts' tracks are more rock, reflecting their distinct personalities.
The characters are larger-than-life, with standout performances that bring a dynamic group energy to the stage. The Queen of Hearts, in particular, steals the show with her punk rock persona and dramatic entrance on a motorcycle. While some characters like the Caterpillar, White Rabbit, and Tweedle twins play more subdued roles, they still contribute to the overall narrative, enhancing the sense of a cohesive Wonderland.
Alice & The Queen of Hearts back to Wonderland is a vibrant, energetic show that successfully merges urban elements with the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland. The interactive aspect adds a fun twist, allowing the audience to influence the outcome of the croquet match between Alice and the Queen. The combination of modern music, stunning visuals, and high-energy performances ensures that this show is a hit with both children and adults.
For all Disney fans and especially those who love Alice in Wonderland, this new addition to Disneyland Paris is a must-see event for 2024. Mark your calendars and prepare to dive into a fantastical, colorful, and thoroughly entertaining experience!
