A Magical return Down the Rabbit Hole: Alice in Wonderland Arrives at Riverside Studios this Easter

The critically acclaimed family favourite returns to London from 27 March/12 April 2026

Following sold-out seasons across Australia and a celebrated UK premiere last summer, the enchanting stage adaptation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland returns to London for a strictly limited Easter run.

Produced by DEM Productions, alongside Ethan Walker and Nate Bertone, the visually spectacular show will run at Riverside Studios from 27 March to 12 April 2026.

This imaginative reworking of Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale promises to once again sweep families into a world where logic is inverted, scale is constantly shifting, and nonsense rules supreme.

A Wonderland brought vividly to life

Blending intricate puppetry with kaleidoscopic sets and bold, storybook-inspired costumes, the production transforms the stage into a living illustration.

Audiences are invited to tumble down the rabbit hole alongside Alice, journeying through surreal landscapes and encountering some of literature’s most iconic characters.

Adapted by Penny Farrow and directed and designed by Nate Bertone, the show balances theatrical spectacle with heartfelt storytelling.

Bertone, a New York City–based director, designer, playwright and producer, brings international pedigree to the project, with recent highlights including set design for Burlesque in the West End, Disney’s Frozen and Beauty and the Beast at Hale Centre Theatre, and co-producing How to Dance in Ohio on Broadway.

The result is a production that feels both grand in scale and intimately magical, designed to captivate children while charming adults who grew up with Carroll’s whimsical classic.

A beloved cast returns to Wonderland

The 2026 Easter run welcomes back many familiar faces from the 2025 cast, adding continuity and chemistry to the fantastical world on stage.

Returning performers include:

  • Charlotte Bradley (The Unfriend, West End) as Alice

  • Clare Brice (Wicked for Good, Universal) as the White Rabbit

  • Daniel Page (Ushers: The Front of House Musical, The Other Palace) as the Queen of Hearts

They are joined by Eddie Ahrens, Honey Gabriel, Skye Hallam, Elliot Liburd and Sophie Wilkinson, forming a dynamic ensemble that brings Wonderland’s peculiar inhabitants to vivid life.

An Easter theatre event for the whole family

At its heart, Alice in Wonderland remains a celebration of curiosity, courage and imagination.

This adaptation leans into the joyful absurdity of Carroll’s world, where shrinking and growing are daily occurrences, riddles have no answers, and tea parties defy reason.

Will the mischievous Cheshire Cat offer guidance or further confusion? Can the ever-anxious White Rabbit reveal the secrets Alice seeks? And will the formidable Queen of Hearts threaten to take more than just heads?

With its immersive design, playful humour and larger-than-life characters, the production offers the perfect Easter theatre outing for families seeking wonder, laughter and visual spectacle.

Why this production stands out

As family theatre continues to evolve, audiences increasingly seek productions that blend high production values with timeless storytelling.

DEM Productions’ Alice in Wonderland delivers exactly that merging theatrical craftsmanship, imaginative design and literary heritage into a polished yet playful experience.

For London families planning their Easter calendar, this is one very important date not to miss.
