 Welcome to the Theater
Congratulations! You’ll be working with your creative team and fellow
cast members to put on a musical. Before you begin rehearsals, there are
some important things you should know. This book is your script. Whether
putting on a school production or rehearsing a professional show, every
actor, director, and stage manager works from a script. Your Actor’s Script
contains additional information for this musical, like this introduction and
two glossaries. You can look up any bold words in the Actor’s Glossary at the
back of this book. Be sure to take good care of your script and take notes with
a pencil since what you’ll be doing onstage can change during rehearsals.
One of the first things you’ll need to learn is what to call the various areas
of the stage. Since most stages used to be raked, or tilted down toward the
house where the audience sits, the term downstage is still used to refer to
the area closest to the audience, and upstage is used to refer to the area
farthest from the audience. Stage left and stage right are from the actor’s
perspective when facing the audience. This diagram shows how to use these
terms to label nine different parts of the stage.

ii Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.

 What to Expect
During Rehearsals
You will be performing a musical, a type of play that tells a story through
music, choreography, and dialogue. Because there are so many parts of a
musical, most shows have more than one author. The composer writes the
music and usually works with a lyricist, who writes the lyrics, or words, for
the songs. The book writer writes the dialogue (spoken words, or lines) and
the stage directions, which tell the actors what to do onstage and which
music cues to listen for. If the book writer and lyricist are the same person,
they are often referred to as the librettist, since the book and lyrics together
are referred to as the libretto.
Your director will plan rehearsals so that the cast is ready to give its best
performance on opening night! Remember to warm up before each
rehearsal so that your mind, body, and voice are ready to go. Every rehearsal
process is a little bit different, but here is an idea of what you can expect as
you begin to work on your show:

Music
Since you’re performing a musical, it is important to learn the music during
the rehearsal process. Your music director will teach the cast all the songs in
the show and tell you what to practice at home.

Choreography
Since most musicals include some movement or dance, you’ll also be
rehearsing choreography. Your choreographer will create the dances and
teach them to the cast. The music and the choreography help tell the story.

Blocking & Scene Work

Your director will determine where everyone in the cast stands and how they
move around the stage. You’ll use theater blocking terms (downstage left,
upstage right, etc.) a lot during this portion of the rehearsal process. You will
also practice speaking your lines and work on memorizing them. Rehearsing
your part from memory is called being off-book. Your director will help you
understand the important action in each scene so you can make the best
choices for your character’s objective, or what your character wants.

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script iii

 Marking Your Script
Notating your script can help you to remember important blocking and
direction. Below are some tips to keep you on track.

1 Always write your name legibly on your script. Scripts have a way of
getting lost or changing hands during rehearsals.

2 Mark your lines and lyrics with a bright-colored highlighter to make

your part stand out on the page. This will allow you to look up from
your script during rehearsals, since it will be easier to find your
place when you look back down.

3 Underline important stage directions, lines, lyrics, and individual

words. For example, if your director wants you to stress a word,
underline it in your script.

4 Save time and space by using the following standard abbreviations:

ON: onstage OFF: offstage US: upstage

DS: downstage SL: stage left SR: stage right

CS: center stage X: cross

You may use these abbreviations to modify other instructions (you

could write “R hand up” to remind yourself to raise your right hand).
You may also combine them in various ways (you could write
“XDSR” to remind yourself to cross downstage right).

5 Draw diagrams to help clarify your blocking. For example, if you are
instructed to walk in a circle around a bench, you might draw a box
to represent the bench, then draw a circle around it with an arrow
indicating the direction in which you are supposed to walk.
6 Draw stick figures to help you remember your choreography.

7 Mark your music with large commas to remind yourself where to

take breaths while singing.
8 Although you should feel free to mark up your script, be careful it
doesn’t become so cluttered with notes that you have a hard time
finding your lines on the page!

 Synopsis
The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE appears, bringing a whimsical world to life around
the curious, imaginative ALICE (Opening: Alice’s Theme). Alice’s older sister
MATHILDA and her FRIENDS barge in, shattering the world of Wonderland and
mocking Alice for living in a childish, make-believe world. After they go, Alice dreams
of a place of wonder and adventure where she can be her truest self (In a World of
My Own). As Alice falls asleep, the world of Wonderland comes to life around her and
CHESHIRE CATS 1-3 appear to guide Alice on her journey.

At the beckoning of the Cheshire Cat, the WHITE RABBIT rushes by, lamenting that
he is behind schedule (I’m Late). Alice follows him to the edge of his rabbit hole and
jumps in as the inhabitants of Wonderland fall past her, offering advice (Very Good
Advice).

Alice lands in front of a very small door. The DOORKNOB suggests that Alice eat and
drink magical items to change her size. During her growing and shrinking, she cries
an ocean of tears and is able to swim through the door’s keyhole into Wonderland. A
boat rows past carrying a DODO BIRD and a bunch of Wonderland creatures (Ocean
of Tears / Smallification 2). Once they all wash ashore, the Dodo Bird initiates a race
so that everyone can dry off (The Caucus Race).

The White Rabbit runs by again (I’m Late – Reprise), and Alice tries to follow him but
runs into TWEEDLE DEE and TWEEDLE DUM. The Tweedles explain how to properly
greet someone (How D’Ye Do and Shake Hands) but end up confusing everyone in
the process. Alice sneaks away to find the White Rabbit at his home, and, after eating
a magical cookie, she grows so large she ends up wearing his house as a dress.

After shrinking in size once more, Alice comes upon ROSE, LILY, PETUNIA, DAISY,
and VIOLET, the Flowers of the Golden Afternoon. Alice longs to join their club,
but the Flowers cruelly turn her away (The Golden Afternoon). An energetic
CATERPILLAR comes upon a very sad Alice and encourages her to continue
her quest despite all the unknowns ahead (Adventure Is a Wonderful Thing).
Afterwards, Alice finally comes face to face with the magical Cheshire Cat, who sends
her off to a tea party.

When Alice arrives, the MAD HATTER, MARCH HARE, and PARTY GUESTS are
celebrating their unbirthdays (The Unbirthday Song). The White Rabbit runs by, still
late (I’m Late – Reprise 2), and the Mad Hatter and March Hare try to fix his watch
with disastrous results.

Alice follows the White Rabbit into the Royal Rose Garden and runs into a strange
sight: the ROYAL CARDS are painting the roses red (Painting the Roses Red). The
QUEEN OF HEARTS and KING OF HEARTS appear, and the Queen chastises the
Royal Cards (Painting the Roses Red – Reprise). When the Queen of Hearts notices
Alice, she challenges her to a game of Simon Says (Simon Says – Parts 1 & 2).
Alice, much to everyone’s surprise, beats the Queen at her own game. The King
proposes a trial for Alice as an alternative to an immediate beheading. Witnesses

vi Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.

condemn Alice, including the Mad Hatter and March Hare, who make sure to wish
the Queen a happy unbirthday (The Unbirthday Song – Reprise).

At the last minute, the Caterpillar appears, asking Alice to dig deep and think hard
about who she really is. Alice, pondering the question, finally realizes that just being
herself is more than enough. Suddenly, Wonderland disappears and Alice is back
at home, waking from a nap. As Alice excitedly relays her moment of self-discovery
to Mathilda, she discovers the White Rabbit’s watch in her pocket. Alice, Mathilda,
and the Wonderland Ensemble rejoice in the freedom to be their true selves, in a
fantastical Wonderland of their own making (Finale).

Theater Tips
• It takes an ensemble to make a show; everyone’s part is
important.
• Be respectful of others at all times.
• Bring your script and a pencil to every rehearsal.
• Arrive at rehearsal on time and ready to begin.
• Be specific! Make clear choices about your character’s
background and motivation for each line and action.
• To help memorize your lines, write them down or speak them
aloud to yourself in a mirror.
• Don’t upstage yourself. Cheat out so the audience can always
see your face and hear your voice.
• Before each performance, tell everyone to “break a leg” –
which is theater talk for “good luck”!
• Be quiet backstage and remember: if you can see the
audience, they can see you – so stay out of sight.
• If you forget a line or something unexpected happens onstage,
keep going! When you remain confident and in character, it’s
unlikely that the audience will notice anything is wrong.
• Remember to thank your director and fellow cast and crew.
• HAVE FUN!

What?

Alice…What are you doing…?

ALICE
(focused, professorial)
I’m not Alice! I’m Professor Alabaster, on a search for a rare rainbow

Is there even such a thing?

(FRIEND 1 and FRIEND 2 giggle. MATHILDA steps in.)

MATHILDA
Forget my sister. She’s always got her head in the clouds.

ALICE
No, I don’t.

FRIEND 2
(to MATHILDA)
Didn’t you say that last week she had a tea party… by herself??

ALICE
(looking up for the first time from her caterpillar quest)
Not true!
(to the FRIENDS, now with a royal posture and tone, maybe
even an accent)
You see, I had to throw a party to welcome my constituents. They
traveled by boat to see me crowned “Princess Alissa, Ruler of the Land”!

FRIEND 1

(hurt; to herself)
That’s Princess Alissa to you.

Oh, Alice. You spend way too much time playing make-believe.

You’ll see when you’re older. That’s just kid stuff.

FRIEND 1
Come on, Mathilda. Let’s go.

(The two FRIENDS exit. ALICE sits, defeated. MATHILDA lingers

behind to comfort her sister.)

MATHILDA
(trying to soften the blow)
Alice. Look. They’re not trying to be mean. But you’re always making
up stories. Always pretending to be someone you’re not. A Professor… a
Princess… just be yourself.

ALICE
But… who am I?

MATHILDA
I don’t know who you are, Alice. That’s something no one can answer
but you.

(Applause! The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE exits excitedly.

Three parts of the CHESHIRE CAT remain onstage with a
gigantic smile and address the audience.)

CHESHIRE CAT 1
Alice is about to discover that Wonderland is far more than she expected.

CHESHIRE CAT 2
It’s a land of racing lobsters, singing flowers, painting cards, and even a
talking Cheshire Cat… That’s me!

CHESHIRE CAT 3
You mean us. But I—

CHESHIRE CAT 1

CHESHIRE CAT 2
Alice’s journey to Wonderland begins with a pallid, long-eared, carrot-
munching quadruped known only as...

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3
The White Rabbit!

(#3 – THE WHITE RABBIT – PART 1. The CHESHIRE

CAT gestures offstage, setting up a big entrance. Nothing. They
look at each other awkwardly, then smile at the audience and try
again.)

Well...this rabbit hole looks pretty deep and dark, and I can’t see the
bottom, and maybe it goes all the way to the center of the earth, and I’ll
be burnt to a crisp in the molten core.

ALICE
This must be where the White Rabbit went. I have to get in.
(ALICE tugs on the DOORKNOB, which yelps in pain.)

DOORKNOB
Yeow! Leggo my schnozzola already!

ALICE
Oh, I’m sorry. I have to find the White Rabbit.

DOORKNOB
The White Rabbit, eh? Well, who taught you to go around pulling on
people’s proboscises?

ALICE
You’re not a person – you’re a doorknob.

DOORKNOB
Well, doorknobs have feelings too.

ALICE
I’m very sorry I pulled on your proboscis, but I have to find the White
Rabbit.

DOORKNOB
(eyeing ALICE closely)
You are far too big to enter Wonderland.

ALICE
Oh no! But I just have to get in! I just have to!

DOORKNOB
Now, don’t have a tantrum. You just arrived. There’s far too much
adventure ahead to lose patience already. Maybe if you drank some of
the magic potion in that convenient bottle floating nearby, you might…
just… fit in.

(The CHESHIRE CAT reveals a bottle with a “DRINK ME”

label and floats it in front of ALICE.)

ALICE
Hmm… I really don’t know what’s in this bottle, but it looks so pretty.
It could be poison, or mayonnaise, or hand sanitizer, or a frothy
combination of all three! But I have to find the White Rabbit. I must
continue with my adventure!

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script 27

 (ALICE gulps from the bottle. #7 – SMALLIFICATION. She
shrinks; SMALL ALICE replaces ALICE.)

CHESHIRE CAT 1
With one gulp of that potion, Alice shrank to three inches tall—

CHESHIRE CAT 2
You mean three inches short—

CHESHIRE CAT 3
It was a very tall three inches.

SMALL ALICE
Oh, look at me. I’m the right size for that door!

DOORKNOB
I believe someone forgot about the key waaaaaay up there on that shelf.

(The CHESHIRE CAT holds a key way up high.)

SMALL ALICE
Now I’m too small to reach the key! Oh no, no, no.

DOORKNOB
Oh, please don’t fret. Here, try a cookie.

(The CHESHIRE CAT reveals a cookie jar labeled “EAT ME.”

Inside is an irresistible large cookie.)

SMALL ALICE
Well, it looks delicious. I just love cookies! But how do I know what’s in
it? Don’t be silly, Alice – what harm can one cookie do?

(SMALL ALICE takes a bite. #8 – TALLIFICATION. She

grows; TALL ALICE replaces SMALL ALICE.)

CHESHIRE CAT 1
Alice grew so big with just one tiny bite of that cookie...

CHESHIRE CAT 2
… that she filled the entire room at the bottom of the rabbit hole.

TALL ALICE
Now I’m too big!

Sorry, kid, you’ll never fit in Wonderland now. Try Pittsburgh.

Yech, I’m all wet! Anybody got a towel?

DODO BIRD

Nope.

SMALL ALICE
A blow dryer?

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE
Huh?

DODO BIRD
My dear young damsel, the only way to get yourself dry in Wonderland
is to initiate an officially sanctioned Caucus Race!

SMALL ALICE
What is a Caucus Race?

DODO BIRD
It involves a lot of running.

SMALL ALICE
Which way do we run?

DODO BIRD
No particular direction.

SMALL ALICE
And how exactly will all this running in a Caucus Race help me get
dried off?

DODO BIRD
The best way to explain it is to do it!

WHITE RABBIT.)

DODO BIRD
But my dear, come back – you’re a natural! And you forgot your

cookie.)

SMALL ALICE
Thanks! After all that swimming and racing, I could use a pick-me-up!

(SMALL ALICE nibbles the cookie. #12 – TALLIFICATION 2.

ALICE replaces SMALL ALICE.)

CHESHIRE CAT 3
Alice took a bite of that cookie—

And grew back to her regular size!

ALICE
Curiouser and curiouser...

Alice decided to go with the flow.

Totally cool!

CHESHIRE CAT 2
And chased after the White Rabbit—

CHESHIRE CAT 3
But ran into Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum—

CHESHIRE CAT
Literally!

(ALICE bowls into identical oddballs TWEEDLE DEE and

TWEEDLE DUM. All three fall down.)

ALICE
Oh, I’m sorry!

TWEEDLE DUM
Oh, how do you do, Sorry! I’m Tweedle Dum.

TWEEDLE DEE
And I’m Tweedle Dee. I’ve never met anyone named Sorry before.

(The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE in an elaborate,

confusing manner.)

ALICE
Oh, I’m sorry, but I’m not Sorry. I’m sorry.

TWEEDLE DEE
Oh, how do you do! I’m Tweedle Dee.

TWEEDLE DUM
No, I’m Tweedle Dee.

(The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE again.)

TWEEDLE DEE
No, I’m Tweedle Dee. You’re Tweedle Dum.

TWEEDLE DUM
Oh, am I? I’m sorry.

TWEEDLE DEE
What a coincidence! So is she!

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script 37

 TWEEDLE DUM
(to ALICE)
Are we related?!

ALICE
I’m sorry?

TWEEDLE DUM
Oh, how do you do! I’m Tweedle Dum.

TWEEDLE DEE
Then I must be Tweedle Dee.

(The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE. This is getting

tiresome.)

ALICE
Don’t you know who you are?

TWEEDLE DUM
(overreacting)
Well, there’s no need to attack us!

TWEEDLE DEE
Yes, we’ve only just met!

ALICE
I thought you knew each other. I’m sor—

TWEEDLE DUM
(cutting her off)
Oh, how do you do? I’m Tweedle Dum.

ALICE
(overlapping, trying to correct the confusion)
I apologize.

TWEEDLE DEE
And I’m Tweedle Dee.

(The TWEEDLES shake hands with ALICE, who is now over it.)

ALICE
And I’m out of here! It’s been fun, but I have to find the White Rabbit.

38 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.

 (ALICE tries to leave.)

TWEEDLE DUM
Meeting and running ain’t very polite. There’s a right way—

TWEEDLE DEE
And a wrong way—

To do things!

You “don’t care” what my name is?! Boy, I never knew rabbits could be
so rude!

(The CHESHIRE CAT reveals the cookie jar.)

Oh, look – another cookie! What harm could one more do…

as a hat.)

TALL ALICE
Oh, no. I can’t go out in public in this house dress. I’ve got to do
something.

WHITE RABBIT
Help, help! There’s a monster in my house! And I’m late!

TALL ALICE
I’m not a monster, I’m a little girl. Okay, a very big little girl.

WHITE RABBIT
Help, help! There’s a very big little girl in my house. And I’m still late!

(DODO BIRD and the WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE run on,

stand back, and look up in awe at TALL ALICE wearing the house.)

Whoa! Love the hat.

Didn’t your mother ever tell you not to play with matches?

WHITE RABBIT
Just hurry! Pleeeease!! I’m—

TALL ALICE
Oh dear! I’d better do something, fast. Maybe if I eat one of those carrots
growing in the rabbit’s garden!

(#16 – SMALLIFICATION 3. The CHESHIRE CAT holds up a

bunch of carrots. TALL ALICE grabs one and eats it quickly.)

CHESHIRE CAT 1
When Alice ate that carrot, can you guess what happened?

SMALL ALICE
I wish I could be a Flower of the Golden Afternoon!

50 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.

 LILY
Keep dreaming, crabgrass!

PETUNIA
You’re just a little weed.

SMALL ALICE
I’m not a weed. I’m a girl.

ROSE
Violet, she says she’s a girl!

FLOWERS
Ewwwwww!!

VIOLET
Whatever!

PETUNIA
You’re way too uncool to become a Flower of the Golden Afternoon.

SMALL ALICE
You wouldn’t talk to me like that if I weren’t three inches tall.

ROSE
(cackling)
But you are, Alice – you are three inches tall!

LILY
Beat it, slug, before you wind up on the bottom of somebody’s shoe.

FLOWERS
Ewwwwww!!

(The FLOWERS laugh at SMALL ALICE as they exit.

Dejected, SMALL ALICE sits, buries her face in her hands,
and starts to cry. #19 – ENTER THE CATERPILLAR. The
CATERPILLAR enters.)

CATERPILLAR
Oh, don’t let those babbling blooms get you down, kid.

SMALL ALICE
But if I could look like them, I’d fit in, and life would be so easy!

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script 51

 CATERPILLAR
Don’t you know beauty is just a surface thing? Who you really are —
what you’re worth — resides much, much deeper. Now, enough about
them. Whooo are youuu?

SMALL ALICE
Umm…Well, my name is Alice.
(beat)
Who are you?

CATERPILLAR
Who am I? Well, I am always me, but who knows what I will be
tomorrow or the next day. You dig?

SMALL ALICE
Um. No.

CATERPILLAR
I’m a Caterpillar, kiddo. At least for now!

SMALL ALICE
I’m so confused. I wanted adventure, but nothing makes any sense here.

CATERPILLAR
Alice, things don’t always make sense. But that doesn’t mean you give
up!

Oh my goodness! Out of nowhere… you’re a butterfly!!

along the way.

SMALL ALICE
Okay!
(beat)
But…what should I do…?

CATERPILLAR
Keep going!!

SMALL ALICE
No, I mean about being three inches tall!

CATERPILLAR
Hmm. Right. You wanna grow big and strong, you gotta eat the right
foods. Try this magic cookie.

SMALL ALICE
Another cookie! You all eat a lot of sweets around here.

CATERPILLAR
This one is high in fiber… and inspiration. Simply deee-lectable! Good
luck on your adventure!

Oh, how do you do? I have a cat just like you. Her name is Dinah.

CHESHIRE CAT 2
Oh, really?

CHESHIRE CAT 3
Just like us, huh?

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3
Can Dinah stand on her head like this?

(The CHESHIRE CAT rearranges body parts and stands on its

head.)

 ALICE
No, I’m sure she can’t. Though I’m not sure of anything anymore. I
thought Wonderland would be everything I always dreamed about…
but everything here is upside down.
(referencing the cat)
Literally.

CHESHIRE CAT 1
Somebody having a bad day?

ALICE
Maybe the White Rabbit can help me, but I can’t find him anywhere.

CHESHIRE CAT 1
You might ask the Mad Hatter.

CHESHIRE CAT 2
He knows where everything is.

CHESHIRE CAT 3
Trouble is, he keeps it all under his hat.

ALICE
A Mad Hatter? I don’t want to make anyone mad.

CHESHIRE CAT 1, 2, 3
Haven’t you noticed we’re all a little mad?
(The CHESHIRE CAT disappears, leaving only a floating smile.)

CHESHIRE CAT 3
Why, I myself am not all here!

 ALICE
Say… where I come from, we play by the rules!

MAD HATTER
Yes, but rules can be so limiting.

MARCH HARE
It’s so much more fun to make up your own rules.

ALICE
But if everyone makes up their own rules, how do you know if you’re
playing fairly?

MAD HATTER
Well, that’s part of the game, I guess.

MAD HATTER
Well, your watch is slow, silly. Here, let me fix it for you.

(The MAD HATTER grabs the watch and huddles over it with the
WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE like surgeons over a patient. The
CHESHIRE CAT makes the sound of a heart monitor beeping.)

You broke it!

MAD HATTER
I know! Wasn’t it fun? Let’s do it again!!

WHITE RABBIT
Oh nooo! Now I’ll never get there on time!

(#25 – RABBIT, RUN. The WHITE RABBIT runs away.

ALICE grabs the watch from the MAD HATTER, puts it in
her pocket, and runs after the WHITE RABBIT as the tea party
disappears.)

ALICE
Hey, wait, you forgot your watch!

CHESHIRE CAT 1
Alice ran after the White Rabbit, but the rodent was nowhere to be
found.

CHESHIRE CAT 1
My bad. But the lagomorph was nowhere to be found.

ALICE
Wonderland is too crazy for me. The rules keep changing and no one can
tell me why. I should just go home… if I could only find my way.

CHESHIRE CAT 1
But Alice, in Wonderland, there’s only the Queen’s way.

ALICE
But I’ve never even met a queen.

CHESHIRE CAT 2
Then this is your lucky day.

CHESHIRE CAT 3
You’re going to meet the greatest Queen of all!

shake things up a bit?

Well, all right. But make it fast, I want to see her head rolling around like
a bowling ball.

88 Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.

 KING OF HEARTS
(like a seasoned trial lawyer)
The prisoner is charged with enticing Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts,
into a game of Simon Says, and thereby willfully – and with Alice of
forethought – didst put a bee in her royal bonnet and cause our beloved
Queen to lose her royal temper!

ALICE
Don’t be silly, I just beat her at her own game.

QUEEN OF HEARTS
(weeping like a distraught witness)
She beat me, do you hear? She confesses! She beat me. She beat me!

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE
(in sympathy)
Aww…

QUEEN OF HEARTS
(suddenly happy again)
Hurry, get to the good part where we cut off her head!

ALICE
But we haven’t heard any witnesses yet.

What have you to add to the already rock-solid evidence against the
soon-to-be-decapitated usurper?

MAD HATTER
She wants to play by the rules!

WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE
Gasp! Rules, rules, murmur, murmur—

QUEEN OF HEARTS
This rebellion must be quelled!!!

KING OF HEARTS
And just where were you when this horrible crime was committed?

Oh, I’m not afraid of you! You’re nothing but a pack of playing cards!

Gasp!

ROYAL CARDS
What did you call us?

ALICE
I should shuffle you all and cut you in half!

Wait! Don’t I get a defense attorney? Isn’t anyone going to help me?

Hey, kiddo, I’ll help you… if it so please the court.

One minute, Caterpillar… then off with her head!

(to the QUEEN)
Off with her head, got it.
(to ALICE)

met! Now, answer this one simple question, and dig deep: Whooooo are
youuuuu?

(offended)
I’m sorry!

(SMALL ALICE joins ALICE on the stand.)

And I’m certainly not a bunch of snooty flowers who act like they’re
better than everybody else and whose only ambition in life is to look
pretty!

Hmph.

(TALL ALICE joins ALICE and SMALL ALICE.)

TALL ALICE
And I’m not some party animal Mad Hatter who likes to cheat at games
and break other people’s things to be funny.

MAD HATTER
How dare you!

SMALL ALICE
And I’m not an anxious White Rabbit who never has time to visit and
play and get to know me—

TALL ALICE

WHITE RABBIT
Oh dear, dear, dear…

ALICE
And I’m absolutely...positively…

SMALL ALICE
Categorically….

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script 95

 TALL ALICE
Not a big old nasty Queen of Hearts who bosses people around!

(The WONDERLAND ENSEMBLE gasps in shock at ALICE’s

criticism of their QUEEN. Their panicked muttering escalates
into a cacophony.)

Wait….

QUIET!

(Everyone is silent.)

waking her.)

Wake up, Alice. Alice!

She’s going to cut off my head!

MATHILDA
Who’s going to what?

ALICE
The Queen of Hearts!

MATHILDA
Alice, you’ve been dreaming again. You were asleep, silly.

ALICE
I was?
(looks around)
Well, then that was the wildest dream! But I think I figured out who I
am. I’m Alice. And I’m proud to be her. No matter what anybody else
thinks.

(MATHILDA hugs ALICE.)

MATHILDA
Good for you, Alice.

ALICE
Can I borrow your notebook? I need to write this story down.

Music Theatre International • Broadway Junior® • Actor’s Script 97

 (MATHILDA hands her notebook and pen to ALICE. ALICE
immediately starts to write, a big smile on her face as she
furiously scribbles everything down on the page.)

amazing imagination.
