Wonderland-1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Regarding the new musical WONDERLAND, and just to show that there is nothing new under the sun, on October 24, 1905, a show titled WONDERLAND with music by Victor Herbert and based on ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS opened in New York at the Majestic Theater. (During the out-of-town tryouts, it had been called ALICE AND THE EIGHT PRINCESSES.) The hit of the show turned out to be Rollo, an artificial horse operated by strings pulled by two men concealed inside it. Rollo’s expressions and gyrations stole the show. On the subject of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, it was also the title of the Ringling spec for 1967. It was later reused as the title for the spec presented by the Blue Unit in 1969 during its abbreviated tour.
