Wonderland (musical)
Wonderland, formerly called Wonderland: Alice’s New Musical Adventure or Wonderland: A New Alice, is a musical play with a book by Jack Murphy and Gregory Boyd, lyrics by Murphy, and music by Frank Wildhorn. The story, a contemporary version of the novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871) by Lewis Carroll, is set in New York City and focuses on writer Alice Cornwinkle and her 10-year-old daughter Chloe.
After various workshops and productions of the musical in Tampa, Florida and Houston, Texas, the show premiered on Broadway on April 17, 2011, closing a month later, on May 15, 2011.
Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy previously collaborated on The Civil War, Waiting For The Moon, The Count of Monte Cristo, and the unproduced musical Havana, and have written songs for Linda Eder. Gregory Boyd has directed productions of Wildhorn’s Svengali (for which he penned the lyrics), Jekyll & Hyde, and The Civil War (for which he contributed lyrics and dialogue with Murphy).
Wonderland is the first production mounted by the Broadway Genesis Project, whose goal is to help create new theatre works specifically for the Tampa Bay market, after which they may be staged in other performing arts centers or move to Broadway.

Recordings
Linda Eder recorded the first song released from the show, titled "Anything Can Happen," for her CD It's No Secret Anymore. It no longer is included in the production.
In November 2009 an original cast album featuring the cast of the Tampa production was released. John Fleming of the St. Petersburg Times, called it "a terrific pop album, overflowing with insanely catchy hooks, toe-tapping rock and swelling choruses that you couldn’t get out of your head if you wanted to. Of the 15 songs from the show, at least half of them sound like hit singles, and they don’t need any theatrical context." He added, "Of course, pop music can be manipulative, shamelessly derivative and loaded with cheap effects, like splashy key changes at every turn. Wildhorn is gleefully guilty on all counts here...Wonderland is full of songs that are perfect for listening to on an iPod or a car CD player."
European Theatre star Thomas Borchert released the song "Together" on his 2010 CD If I Sing.
Linda Eder recorded the song "The Mad Hatter Attacks" for her 2010 album Now, her first collaboration with Frank Wildhorn and Jeremy Roberts in years.
An Original Broadway Cast Recording by the Masterworks Broadway label was released on May 3, 2011.
A cast recording starring the Japanese Premiere Cast was released in March 2013.Awards
