"Alice by Heart, the pop musical written by the Spring Awakening team of composer Duncan Sheik and lyricist-bookwriter Steven Sater...frames Lewis Carroll's classic novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" against the backdrop of the Blitz of London during World War II. The musical is, at times, as convoluted and confusing as Carroll's famous book and takes that classic tale into a darker and more introspective territory, with mixed results. ...Spotlight Youth Theatre is presenting the local premiere of the musical and, fortunately, with skillful direction and superb choreography, their excellent cast of teens excels at breathing life into the underwritten characters and providing the musical with an emotional and quite moving ending....under Kenny Grossman's assured direction, the cast shines...Falin Taylor's intricate choreography is extremely impressive, with varied dance steps that are inventive and fun and combine with Grossman's direction, Samantha Utpadel's creative costumes, the period and imaginative hair and makeup design by Angel DeMichael, and Josh Hontz's fantastic and immersive lighting, to create numerous visually striking stage images." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
