If you’re looking for pure theatrical delight in Singapore this October, Cirque Alice is the show to see. The Asia premiere is happening at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands from 9 to 26 October 2025, and it’s a luminous, family-friendly spectacle that reimagines Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland through jaw-dropping circus craft, inventive design, and infectious theatricality. Created by Tim Lawson and Simon Painter, and brought to life by an international creative team, this production blends athleticism, puppetry, music, and comedy into one wonderfully immersive experience, a dazzling journey that transports audiences straight into the heart of Wonderland.

From the first beat, Cirque Alice grabs you with joyful confidence. The production honors Carroll’s imaginative spirit while crafting its own theatrical vocabulary: acrobatics that read like poetry, puppetry that lends characters emotional weight, and comedic beats that land with genuine warmth.

Performance & Physicality
The cast is uniformly world-class. Aerialists execute hair-raising transitions with ease; contortionists shape moments of uncanny beauty; and ensemble choreography keeps energy high and playful. Every physical feat feels purposeful not just a display of athleticism but a way of telling a story through motion.

Staging & Immersion
Sands Theatre has been transformed into a living Wonderland. Clever staging and the option of ring VIP/on-stage seating bring the action close enough to feel personal. Costume and set design are exuberant without ever feeling cluttered; projections, lighting, and sound create a tactile atmosphere that shifts from mischievous to tender with seamless agility.

Music & Soundscape
The show’s soundtrack reimagines familiar classical motifs through modern arrangements that lift emotional beats without overwhelming the stage. Music and movement are tightly integrated, creating moments that are as moving as they are thrilling.

Character & Humor
Beloved characters are present in spirit and in performance, the Mad Hatter’s comic energy delights audiences, while other figures (from regal to mischievous) become anchors for the show’s emotional arcs. The humor is family-friendly and genuinely funny, landing for both kids and adults.

Pacing & Appeal
At about 115 minutes with an intermission, the show’s pace keeps things fresh and varied. High-octane set-pieces sit alongside quieter, reflective moments, making for an experience that both dazzles and invites your heart to follow along. It’s a perfect pick for families, date nights, theatre lovers, and casual visitors looking for unforgettable entertainment.

Cirque Alice is a rare kind of show: spectacular in scale yet intimate in feeling. It celebrates human skill, theatrical imagination, and the simple, contagious joy of play. If you’re looking for a show that will make you gasp, laugh, and leave with a smile, this is a can’t miss experience. With limited seating from 9–26 October 2025 and premium ring experiences that sell out quickly, be sure to book your tickets through Marina Bay Sands, SISTIC, or Klook and fall down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
