Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
The booming announcer's voice at the beginning of this 1994 radio production sets the tone, letting listeners know that it evokes the style of Old-Time Radio. That theme carries over into the casting of Jeanette Nolan, who performed in the first coast-to-coast broadcast in 1932. The production stays true to its goal, setting the scene skillfully with simple sound effects. Actress Samantha Eggar is charming as young Alice, and Roddy McDowell brings warmth to the narration. An impressive roster of talent in small roles adds deft comic timing to the classic tale and many laughs from the audience at the original taping. Stylish production and star power make this version of the oft-told tale a standout. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

A MUST-HAVE ITEM FOR ALL FANS OF "ALICE",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (California Artists Radio Theatre) (Audio CD)
Peggy Webber directed and wrote this outstanding adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" for
California Artists Radio Theatre. The beautiful, gentle piano score is composed by David Pinto. The production is perfectly cast. Roddy McDowall is ideal as Lewis Carroll (The Narrator) and The March Hare. Samantha Eggar is excellent as Alice. Henry Kaplin is wonderfully neurotic as the White Rabbit. Kathleen Freeman and Jeanette Nolan are featured as the Duchess and The Queen Of Hearts, respectively. Three characters from the sequel "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS". Tweedledee and Tweeledum (great character actors William Windom and Parley Baer) and The White Knight (John Astin) are also included here. In this version, Alice meets them just after the celebrated Mad Tea Party. After these encounters, the story continues in the Queen's garden, with the croquet game and crazy trial, as in Carroll's book. Like Alice's adventures, the production passes by all too quickly in a breezy 90 minutes. But we can always listen to it over again. The production comes in both two cassettes and two CD formats. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any fans of Lewis Carroll and "ALICE." From Oasis Audio. www.oasisaudio.com
