A ‘Wonderland’ of Talented Kids and Richly Realized Fantasy
Washington Post – Apr 14, 2007
In the tradition of “Pepito’s Story” “Brothers of the Knight” and other Allen musicals a slew of talented young performers appears in “Alex in Wonderland” (which is sold out for the rest of the run; would-be patrons can check the box office for last-minute availability). Thirty-nine of these prodigies hail from the Washington area and all of them by the looks of it could go toe-to-toe with Shirley Temple. These kids waltz they break-dance they do ballet they leap in the air and land in splits. ne memorable sequence features a tap-dancing throng in white rabbit costumes like some long-eared befurred edition of “42nd Street. “Supporting these prodigies are older performers cast in zany roles such as Jean Claude (James Konicek) a big bad Wolf with a snooty French accent and Miss Pippy (Jade Wheeler) a schoolteacher with purple hair. A brassy Fairy Godmother is typically portrayed by male actor Tracy Kennedy but when he was ill for the Saturday matinee last weekend Allen herself went on making a splashy initial entrance on a red swing. “Alex in Wonderland” tells of a skeptical schoolboy (terrific pint-size actor Kyle Jones) who thinks fairy tales are for sissies.
