Sater and Sheik, who won all the Tonys for Spring Awakening, are clearly interested in the emotional and physical frisson of coming of age - and that’s cool. 1 on the list of easily sex-up-able children’s lit. With its almost pubescent girl heroine, its probably pervy author, and its dream-nonsense scenarios that can quickly be spun into innuendos, Alice in Wonderland is practically No. Steven Sater (book and lyrics) and Duncan Sheik (music) - along with director Jessie Nelson, who contributed to the book - have taken an obvious path with their source material, so obvious that there’s already a porno out there. Here’s a particularly representative sentence from the Wikipedia plot summary: “After being initially uncomfortable when the Mad Hatter exposes his penis to her, Alice ultimately performs fellatio on him.” Don’t worry, she was only initially uncomfortable.Īnyway, I haven’t done that much thinking about Alice in Orgyland in recent years, but during my recent viewing of the very dodgy new musical Alice by Heart, I couldn’t get it out of my head. She wakes up in Wonderland and goes through all the expected adventures, plus sex. Good-girl librarian Alice has a fight with her boyfriend and then falls asleep while reading the Lewis Carroll classic.
It’s pretty much what you’d think it would be. (Trust me, this is going somewhere.) I think I’ve seen exactly one porno beginning to end: the 1976 X-rated musical of Alice in Wonderland.
