So you think being rich will get you a giant house, fun times, and lots of great friends? Smart and sassy urban teen Alice believes it will, so when she wins a mysterious BIG BUCKS sweepstakes in the mail, there's no time to lose to claim her prize! With her two best friends in tow—a white rabbit who’s, well, kind of invisible, and a card-playing misfit who has a thing for big floppy top hats—Alice takes off into the city in a dizzying race against the clock. In this topsy-turvy neon wonderland, skyscrapers seem to grow taller, diners appear to get smaller, and a snooty uptown queen will stop at nothing to sit Alice down to a very mad, mad tea party. But that’s just the beginning to all the outrageous adventures in store in this delightful world-premiere adaptation of Whoopi Goldberg’s children’s book—in which Alice ultimately discovers the best jackpot in life isn’t money or fame at all, but simply the friendships she had all along.
