[Review] Cirque Alice

We just experienced Cirque Alice and WOW!

The creators of Cirque Du Soleil’s Mad Apple and the Broadway hit The Illusionists have brought Alice in Wonderland to life through circus acts, and Singapore gets to see it first in Asia!

The characters you know and love like the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat are reinvented through incredible circus acts performed by world-class performers.

We were treated to contortionists bending in impossible ways, aerialists defying gravity, and mind-bending magicians.

The whole production is elevated by an enthralling soundtrack featuring contemporary renditions of classical hits, weaving perfectly with the live music, comedy beats, and exquisite puppetry. Every act is packed with thrilling surprises!

What impressed us the most was how immersive it is. You’re not just watching, you’re in Wonderland.

The kids were buzzing about it all the way home, and judging by the cheers and reactions, the rest of the audience was equally impressed too.

We fell down the rabbit hole and loved every minute of it!

Date: Till 26 Oct 2025

Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes including intermission

Location: Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands

Admission: From $78
