Thoughts on Wonderland UK:

TL;DR: Awful

Longer version:

I don’t like the fact that Alice and Jack find Ellie/Chloe immediately when they get to Wonderland. Like no offense makes no sense like what does Alice have to do??? Cause in earlier productions her WHOLE THING was to find Chloe. And even on Broadway with her goal of finding Chloe was put in Act 2, she still wanted to go back home mainly for Chloe. So now that she has Ellie what does she do???

GATO IS SO EWWWWW!!! NOT ONLY DID THEY JUST ERASE HIS LATINIDAD AND MADE HIM WHITE BUT ALSO HES SO OBNOXIOUS LIKE THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST CHESHIRE IN EXISTENCE!! AND THE FACT THAT THEY REPLACED GO WITH THE FLOW WITH SUCH A LAME SONG LIKE BOOOOOOO GET OFF THE STAGE

I feel there’s some sort of malice with how they portray Cheshire. While Cheshire and in turn Gato aren’t autistic in canon, I do think that they’re coded very highly as such even if unintentionally. So them portraying Cheshire as an idiot feels really ableist. Like they saw Gato, who was a silly man but still incredibly smart and then in response, they made it so their version of him was an idiot to laugh at. Like Oh man look at this guy look at how strange he is guys!! Just as an autistic man, it just feels as if they’re mocking us idk how to explain it

The transition to songs is soooooo bad from One Knight and onwards

I don’t like how they used the Looking Glass. Like the Looking Glass has never changed people. When Alice went through the looking glass she didn’t change, she was still Alice throughout the entire story

Everyone is so obnoxious. How they mischaracterize everyone is AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Can’t believe Alice finally got a goal 54 minutes into the show

Gato and Caterpillar already had the issue with feeling as if they didn’t contribute much to the plot and now they’re just ensemble characters. So even with their ONE character of color left, they basically make him useless. Yes show you have totally convinced me that you aren’t racist as shit /s

They butchered the SHIT out of Morris and Hatter’s dynamic. Like they’re finally together romantically but at what cost

I hate that Rabbit sings I Am My Own Invention. It makes no sense to Rabbit from Wonderland. Like if you didn’t want to include Lewis Carroll(which I don’t mind I don’t like him being in the show) then GATO IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE

They have like five funny jokes

The fact that like Hatter was only an antagonist for like 20 minutes. Guillotine me thinks

They took the tragedy out of Wonderland fuck you for that fr

MAKE ME DEPRESSED IN A GOOD WAY MAN!! BREAK MY HEART BUT NO WE HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF HOW DISAPPOINTING IT IS

THE FACT THAT THEY MADE CHESHIRE SOLD ELLIE OUT IS SO OOC AND THE FACT THAT THEY SAY ITS CAUSE HES A CAT CATS ARE JUST AS LOYAL AS DOGS CHESHIRE WOULD NEVER DO THAT

Finding Wonderland makes no sense cause for me the reason why that song works cause of her friends back in Wonderland. Like those were her imaginary friends who loved her for who she was and were there for her, and helped her find not only her daughter but herself. And in this musical, nobody feels like her friend. Nobody feels like home so why would Alice sing about how finding Wonderland is like going home again???? THAT MAKES NO SENSE

This version doesn’t have heart. Like at all

It also goes down the mistake of characterizing so many of the Wonderlandians as “crazzyyyyy” to not make them interesting characters

So yeah for people who think that if Wonderland comes back for a revival that should use the plot for this production, I just have one thing to say to you: DIE BY MY HAND
