You won’t want to be late for this very important date.
January 8 next year is the day that Cirque Alice, an epic new show from the creators of the global smash hit The Illusionists, will transform Her Majesty’s Theatre into a Wonderland.
This acclaimed, unique circus show – which had sell-out seasons in Brisbane and Singapore - celebrates one of the most recognisable fantasy worlds of all time, with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland a “curiouser and curiouser” so
urce of inspiration for a captivating two-hour show for all ages.
The brand-new show entices audiences down the rabbit hole, with an awe-inspiring set and on-stage cabaret seating, putting guests at the heart of the action as performers soar above the stage of Her Majesty’s Theatre.
Adelaide Festival Centre CEO Kate Gould said she was “excited to bring this acclaimed production to Her Majesty’s Theatre”, saying it was a “celebration of storytelling, music, and joy, we look forward to sharing its magic with South Australians of all ages”.
Created by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, Cirque Alice reimagines Lewis Carroll’s classic adventure, bringing to life everyone’s favourite characters with extraordinary acts from some of the greatest performers around the globe.
“Cirque Alice is spectacular entertainment that dazzles audiences of all ages – whether you’re on a date night or you want to bring the whole family along – do not miss this performance of jaw dropping acts set around one of the world’s most magical stories,” Mr Lawson said.
Cirque Alice features mesmerising aerialists and acrobats, mind-bending contortionists, exquisite puppetry, special guest musical and comedic artists and more, accompanied by a soundtrack of newly arranged remixes of classical favourites.
Tickets for the production, which runs from January 8 to 18 2026, are now available via adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au.
