Concept drawing for an Alice in Wonderland show: spectators are looking at a stage where a path seems to lead into a huge bush. Several playing cards hang from the bushes.

Alice & the Queen of Hearts

Music, acrobatics and a completely mad duel in Wonderland

Please note: Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland will return to Disney Adventure World in 2027.

A show about Alice in Wonderland could be quiet and tame: a fairy tale, music and a happy ending. Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland in Disney Adventure World is the exact opposite. The show is a wild mix of concert, theatre, acrobatics and athletic stunts.

All Alice wanted was to accept the Mad Hatter’s invitation and have a tea party with her friends. But, of course, things rarely go to plan in Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts turns up for the party as well, and a bizarre duel soon begins between two completely different personalities.

This unexpected encounter turns into an energetic show with music, dance, acrobatics and plenty of surprising moments. Unlike many other shows, you do not simply watch the ending; you help decide it. The audience votes on who wins the duel, Alice or the Queen of Hearts. This means that the outcome of Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland is never fixed.

It is probably the most unusual show at Disneyland Paris. But it suits Alice perfectly: a little mad and simply different.

From a Disney classic to a modern stage show

Even in 1951, the Disney animated film was no tame fairy tale, with its unusual melodies, eccentric characters and a world with no clear rules. Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland takes up this idea but follows a completely new path. Rather than adapting the film as a conventional play or musical, the show offers a modern interpretation with original songs, bold colours and a style closer to a large-scale concert than a traditional Disney show.

The expansive set, modern design and pyrotechnics sometimes make the whole production feel more like a mad festival in Wonderland. The costumes follow the same approach. Instead of simply copying the familiar characters from the animated film, they reimagine them for a modern version of this world.

The two main characters are just as different musically. Alice brings upbeat pop to the stage, while the Queen of Hearts counters with rock. This turns their clash into a musical contest as well.

The show stays true to the mad spirit of Alice in Wonderland but does not simply retell the film’s story. Instead, it creates a new adventure that proves a classic from 1951 can still really let loose today.

Tips for Alice and the Queen of Hearts: Back to Wonderland

Check the show times: You can find the exact schedule in the Disneyland Paris app. Times vary depending on the season and day of the week.
A good option for a break: The seating area is covered, making it a practical choice on rainy or hot days. The stage itself is outdoors, however, so the show may be adapted or cancelled in bad weather.
There is usually no need to wait for long: The theatre has a large capacity, so you can generally find a seat without any trouble. Arrive a little earlier if you want to sit near the front or as close to the centre as possible.
Join in: Audience participation is an important part of the show, so clap along and make your vote heard during the final duel. In Wonderland, the crazier, the better.
