The Fort Worth Symphony, led by Michael Moricz, provided the live accompaniment to the ballet story. Live music always adds more enjoyment to any ballet production.

The first act stated with Alice reading a book under a tree and becoming very drowsy. Then a white rabbit comes running by and jumps down a hole, so Alice decides to follow him and down she went. And many tales were told about Alice's adventures in Wonderland.
The costumes were so beautiful and colorful. All the animals were so imaginative and expertly created. The snail was adorable along with the dodo bird, Zebra, unicorn, turtles, dragonflies, butterflies, and lobsters. Plus the Cheshire Cat was not forgotten and we did get to attend the Mad Hatters Tea Party as well.
The Travelling Toe and Dear Friend so enjoyed the entire performance. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon by attending a beautiful ballet with a Dear Friend!
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
