MY REVIEW OF WONDERLAND: Oh my... went to see this last night in Ottawa and was NOT impressed with the choreography. My friend and I lamented together at intermission and sadly the second half was more of the same boring schtuff. I'm clueless as to why I've read positive reviews since this was such a disappointment. (Apr 30,2011)
