Christmas with the kids won't be the
same without a trip to the theater. Alice in Wonderland is Repertory
Children's Theater. Christmas offering for the year. If you watched
Seussical or Wizard of Oz in the past, then you know
what to expect. A colorful, lively stage, fun and sing-along music,
interactive dialogue that may catch you child off-guard but eager to
participate.
“I'm mad, you're mad, we're all mad
here” Absurd, lively, funny, yet very insightful, the story of
Alice in Wonderland by Repertory Children's Theater conttinues to
enthrall the young and the not-so-young audience since August 17
until December 15, 2013. This
timeless and whimsical story by Lewis Caroll is presented at Onstage,
2F Greenbelt 1, Paseo de Roxas, Makati City. If you still
haven't seen it, you still have time to catch this family-bonding
show.
The veteral theater actors can more
than deliver the fantasy and llight-heartedness of the play. That
comes as no surprise. But the natural, stand-out performance of the
young lead actress is what made me take notice. The role of Alice
had to be a child actress who had to level up just to match the
skills of the older veterans so as not to be overshadowed. And the
demands of the role kept her on stage most of the time with hardly
intervals in the performance. Without a doubt, Daniella Gana played
the role flawlessly as her performance was quite credible.
Memorable scenes such as the madhatter
party, as well as the game of croquette with the scary queen, would
keep your child focused even if they had attention-deficit problems.
A lively, wholesome, and interactive play that speaks the language of
the child, Alice in Wonderland is truly hilarious for its confusing
and ridiculously funny dialogue. Let your child be the judge, but I
am sure the child in every adult will agree too.
