The late Julee Cruise played the Queen of Hearts in this stage adaptation at the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the early eighties. I will be honest that I don't think the production will hold up to today's audiences. Julee Cruise is nearly unrecognizable with dark hair. She disappeared into the role. It's not a musical. The actress who placed Alice did an admirable job by being on stage for the entire performance. Minneapolis has a vital and vibrant theatrical community. Wendy Lehr did an admirable job as the white rabbit. Too bad, they don't make these productions accessible to the mass public.
