What? There was a great Curious George movie in theaters just a couple years ago, why would they do that again?
The Wonderland musical is not great. Frank Wildhorn’s music is just not excellent material.
Any idea who’s writing the book/score for the Wonderland musical?
Just read the above…Wildehorn, huh? Bleh.
ugh Wildhorn is doing the music– expect the worst
Wildhorn has never done anything outstanding in his career.
Mage is an Arthurian take on superheroes – the bat is Excalibur [sorta/kinda].
Research. It’s a Good thing!
Love the movie and BestChristianDatingSite was very good
There already is an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ musical! And it is awesome!
Wonderbat\Mystery Spot Simpsons reference for the win.
Alice at the Palace was an off Broadway musical from 1982 , Meryl Streep as Alice and Debbie Allen as the Red Queen..it’s pretty clever (much better than the new movie)
“Alice in Concert”, fantastic show…beware the jaws that bite the claws that catch!
