''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'' (2011) is a full-evening story ballet adapted from ''[[Alice in Wonderland]],'' with choreography by Christopher Wheeldon and music by Jody Talbot. The ballet was co-produced by the Royal Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada, both of which have staged their own productions. It is scheduled to debut in the USA in late 2012, when the NBC plans to tour with it, and will also be aired live in movie theatres for one performance in 2013. Opus Arte released ''Alice'' on DVD in 2011.
In the original version, Act I opens with a garden party at the Liddell household, where an adolescent Alice gives one of the young gardeners, Jack, a tart. However, Mrs. Liddell accuses Jack of stealing the tart and fires him, much to Alice's dismay. The party itself includes such local notables as a Rajah, the vicar, the verger, a magician, and [[Lewis Carroll]]. When Carroll asks Alice to pose for a photograph, the lighting changes, Carroll's photography bag expands, and Carroll turns into the White Rabbit. Alice falls through the photography bag and winds up in Wonderland. Among other adventures, she encounters Wonderland's version of Jack, the Knave, who is on the run from the Queen of Hearts.
