Has a fairytale ever made you want to dance and sing? Well, clear your throat and get out your dancing shoes for the must-have, family friendly DVD of the New Year. Debbie Allen's ALEX IN WONDERLAND will be available everywhere DVDs are sold on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 . In Debbie Allen's ALEX IN WONDERLAND, The internationally recognized Golden Globe and three-time Emmy Award winner director/choreographer Debbie Allen puts a fun twist and a gender switch into her dreamy, "dansical" retelling of the Lewis Carroll classic Alice in Wonderland.
Written, directed and choreographed by Debbie Allen, with an original score by Debbie Allen, Diane Louie and three-time GRAMMY Award winner James Ingram, Debbie Allen's ALEX IN WONDERLAND is a re-imagined fairytale that has been contemporized, funkified and stylized for a new generation.
Featuring stage and screen star Robert Torti (Disney's Race to Witch Mountain), Tichina Arnold (Everybody Hates Chris) and newcomer and one of "Oprah's Most Talented Kids," Kyle Jones, as "Alex," Debbie Allen's ALEX IN WONDERLAND tells the story of a young boy who dreads his homework assignment, an essay on children's literature, because he thinks fairytales are silly girl stuff. He falls asleep in the school library and awakens to a journey through Wonderland guided by the White Rabbit, The Wolf and The Fairy Godmother that teaches him the magic of "Once upon a time ..."
Debbie Allen's ALEX IN WONDERLAND is a game-changer for children's stories in its creative use of dance and song. Fairytales, folk tales, fables and myths may never be the same, and given the applied brilliance given to this production, nor should they be. The Debbie Allen's ALEX IN WONDERLAND DVD includes bonus features and extras, including a one-on-one conversation with Debbie Allen. This DVD will be available everywhere DVDs are sold on Tuesday, February 23, 2010.
