Invitation-only industry presentations of the new musical Alice in Neverland will be presented November 6-7 at New 42 Studios in Manhattan.

Directed by Catie Davis (Beetlejuice) with choreography by Dominique Kelley (The Great Gatsby), the cast will feature Tony winner Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone, The Prom) as Queen of Hearts, Jane Bruce (Jagged Little Pill) as Alice, Akron Watson (The Play That Goes Wrong) as James, Jake Pedersen (Parade, Wicked) as Peter, and Jackera Davis (Beetlejuice) as Tinker Bell.

Alice in Neverland, which has a book, music, and lyrics by Phil Kenny and Reston Williams, is billed as a sequel to Alice in Wonderland and a prequel to Peter Pan. Alice is now grown up and stuck in a life that feels smaller than her childhood dreams. Wondering if her happiest days are behind her, she’s pulled not to Wonderland but to Neverland, where adventure and temptation blur. 

The presentations will also have puppet design by Nicholas Mahon, music supervision by Kris Kukul (Beetlejuice), music direction by Adam Laird (Beetlejuice), and general management by Andrew Joy for Foresight Theatrical. Casting is by The Telsey Office's Rashad Naylor.

Producing are Tony winners Hal Luftig and Kevin Connor (Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde), Jamie deRoy (Beetlejuice, Peter and the Starcatcher), and 42nd.club (Hadestown, & Juliet).
