Tim Lawson: Cirque Alice
13 January 2026 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEDT

Following sold-out seasons in Brisbane and Singapore, Cirque Alice – the new production from the creators of international hit The Illusionists – arrives in Sydney for a season at the Coliseum Theatre in Rooty Hill. The family show takes audiences down the rabbit hole for a circus extravaganza inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, comedians and puppeteers will wow audiences as they strut their stuff to a soundtrack of classical remixes. Newcastle-born soprano Layla Schillert (Australian Idol ) plays Alice. The TT Boys will flip and fly as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, while the Ramadhani Brothers will keep you on the edge of your seat as the Red and White Knights. Both duos have appeared on America’s Got Talent.
