Following sell out seasons in Brisbane and Singapore, Coliseum Theatre today announced the Sydney premiere season of Cirque Alice, an epic new show from the creators of the global smash hit The Illusionists that will transform Coliseum Theatre into a Wonderland from 24 December 2025 to 4 January 2026.
Created by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, Cirque Alice reimagines Lewis Carroll’s classic adventure bringing to life everyone’s favourite characters with extraordinary acts from some of the greatest performers around the globe.
This acclaimed, unique circus show celebrates one of the most recognisable fantasy worlds of all time, with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland a ‘curiouser and curiouser’ source of inspiration for a captivating two-hour show for all ages.
The brand-new show entices audiences down the rabbit hole, with an awe-inspiring set and on-stage cabaret seating putting guests at the heart of the action as performers soar above the stage of Coliseum Theatre.
Cirque Alice features mesmerising aerialists and acrobats, mind-bending contortionists, exquisite puppetry, special guest musical and comedic artists and more, accompanied by a soundtrack of newly arranged remixes of classical favourites.
With the cast to be announced in coming months, Painter said audiences could expect a lineup of some of the greatest circus and magic performers on earth – from America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League winners to exciting new talent from the international circuit.
