Alice in Wonderland by International Ballet Stars & Romero Britto

International Ballet Stars are bringing Alice in Wonderland to Jesse H. Jones Hall on Wednesday, April 7, 2027. It's a world-premiere production, and the big draw here is the collaboration: the whole thing was designed with pop art icon Romero Britto. If you've seen Britto's work around town, you know the style—bright colors, bold lines, and a lot of energy—and that's exactly what's being brought to the stage for this version of the story.

It's not a brand-new show in the sense that it's never been seen before. Before it hits Houston, it's played sold-out runs across North America, so it arrives here with some momentum behind it. The production is presented at Jesse H. Jones Hall as a partner event, and it's the first time this specific version of Alice is premiering as a full production.

As for the performance itself, it's Alice in Wonderland told through ballet, with the International Ballet Stars handling the dancing. The Britto collaboration is where the visual side comes in, so you'll see his pop art influence in the sets and costumes that build the world Alice falls into. It's a familiar story, but the look is what sets this one apart from any other production of the piece.

The show starts at 7 PM, and tickets run from $35 to $160, depending on where you sit in the hall. If you're planning to go, keep in mind it's a Wednesday night, so you'll want to work around the mid-week timing.
