Families across Newcastle are in for a theatrical treat these school holidays, with Young People’s Theatre (YPT) April–May production of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.
This vibrant musical adaptation of the much-loved Disney classic promises a lively, imaginative take on Lewis Carroll’s iconic story, packed with familiar characters, catchy songs, and theatrical wonder.
Classic Disney tunes like I’m Late, The Unbirthday Song, and Painting the Roses Red make a return, infusing the show with nostalgia and toe-tapping fun.
The production’s concept cleverly reimagines Wonderland as a dreamscape emerging from Alice’s own bedroom. Everyday objects take on new meaning in this larger-than-life fantasy, turning teacups, books, and knitting needles into whimsical set pieces.
With a 90-minute run time and no content warnings, it’s a perfect outing for families looking to inject some joy, imagination, and musical fun into their school holiday plans.
As a not-for-profit theatre company, YPT continues to thrive thanks to the community’s generous support, with ticket sales and enthusiastic reviews helping to fuel its vibrant productions.
Young People’s Theatre (YPT) production of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR is on from 14 April to 24 May in Hamilton. Head to ypt.org.au/bookings to find out more and grab your tickets.
