What a feat, what a spectacular show, what a feast of talent Wanganui Intermediate's Alice in Wonderland was.
Based on the stories by Lewis Carroll and with a cast of more than a hundred kids
and a strong team of dedicated teachers at the helm this musical journey down the rabbit hole was a top experience.
Playing at the Royal Wanganui Opera House until Saturday, September 23, this show will charm you, have you tapping your toes and applauding with gusto.
I was at the 10am show on Thursday with hundreds of Year 6 pupils from schools throughout Whanganui as well the entire school of Wanganui Intermediate.
I've always thought the sports prowess of a school seemed to take precedence overall so it was refreshing to see a sparkling show with a young cast all clearly having a great time on the boards.
