Alice by Heart
Authors' Licensing Note: We’ve been so touched that Alice by Heart has been embraced by schools and theatres throughout the world. Our original plan was to make the show available for licensing for a limited time period, but with all the demand for the piece, we’ve had a change of heart. And so, we are delighted to announce that Alice by Heart now become available for full licensing, including to regional theatres. Down the hole we go!
- Steven Sater, Jessie Nelson, and Duncan Sheik
From the Tony® and Grammy® award-winning creators of Spring Awakening, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, and co-written by Jessie Nelson (Waitress), Alice by Heart is a touching musical inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.
As they travel through the tale, Alice by Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward. This world premiere musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

Licensing release
Hello! I am a student and I’ve been wanting to ask my school to do Alice By Heart since it was originally announced to be released (but since then the rights release date has been pushed back)- if there a definite date now of when the rights will be released or is it still sort of vague? Also, how long does it take on average for licensing requests to be approved?
