Alice at the Palace (1982 TV Movie)
10/10
"What is the use of a book without pictures or conversations?"
28 February 2023
This is a fun musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "through the looking glass".

Meryl Streep (at age of 33) does a good presentation of Alice but does not outshine all the other characters, in this Broadway production based on Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival production.

Lovers of the books may find this a tad wanting, however, theater viewers can spot the depth and presentation style.

Everybody will have a different favorite part of this presentation; mine is the singing of the Jabberwocky. Nice close-ups of eyes that you do not get in from a distance.

This is but one of many great Broadway Theatre archives that you will want to add to your collection.

I leave you with this thought: "No wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise."
