If you love music hall theater, 'Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass' or you can't get enough of Meryl Streep, this entertainment is it.
I saw this a million or so years ago on public broadcasting and always wanted to see it again or own a copy. so i was really happy that this became available to own.
the whole cast is extremely engaging and funny, especially Meryl Streep who is hilarious and very light on her feet. her renditions of the many musical numbers are charming and witty and her solo moments like "There Was A Man Sitting On A Gate" are excellent. also check out Streep pantomiming falling down the rabbit hole, it's a riot. the rest of the ensemble cast is also side-splittingly funny. especially Michael Jeeter who is a total freak- out as the Doormouse and the baby. when Jeeter was on his tippy toes as the Doormouse i almost really lost it.
for 'Alice' fans, the music hall adaptation here is extremely faithful to the Lewis Carroll stories which makes the unique and totally original approach even more fun.
