Northwest Children’s Theater Invites Audiences
Down the Rabbit Hole with
Alice in Wonderland: A Jazz Musical

Featuring five of Portland’s beloved jazz musicians on stage at The Judy!

Northwest Children’s Theater (NWCT) is thrilled to announce the return of its wildly imaginative and much-loved production, Alice in Wonderland: A Jazz Musical, running March 28–April 19 on The Mainstage at The Judy. This marks the third time NWCT has produced the show—and the first time audiences will experience it at The Judy!

Conceived and composed by Portland jazz pianist Ezra Weiss and based on the classic book by Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland: A Jazz Musical invites audiences into a topsy-turvy world where music, language, and imagination collide. Directed by Sarah Jane Hardy, the production blends the technical precision of jazz with joyful improvisation—mirroring Carroll’s playful yet rule-bending use of language.
