More about this title

About the Creator: Jessie Nelson

Jessie Nelson crafted Alice By Heart as a musical that reimagines Lewis Carroll's classic through the eyes of a young girl experiencing London during World War II. Her work blends theatrical storytelling with intimate character moments, creating songs that balance whimsy with genuine emotional weight. Nelson's background in theater and songwriting brings a distinctive voice to contemporary musical theater, one that refuses to shy away from both humor and heartbreak.

The score reflects Nelson's gift for writing dialogue that sings. Each number advances character and story rather than interrupting it, a philosophy that shapes how "Do You Think We Think You're Alice?" functions within the larger narrative. Her attention to vocal authenticity means this song works equally well in concert settings or full productions.

Why we love this

This song captures something rarely found in Broadway material written for younger or community voices: genuine dramatic stakes without sacrificing accessibility. The music sits comfortably for high voices while the lyrical wit and theatrical possibilities keep experienced singers engaged throughout.

What to expect

The song carries a searching quality, full of playful challenge and genuine uncertainty. There's a lightness to the musical surface that masks something more curious underneath, like overhearing a conversation between characters who are figuring each other out in real time.

Who it's for

High soprano and mezzo soprano voices will find this song sits naturally in their range. It works for young performers tackling character-driven material, singers preparing auditions from contemporary musicals, or anyone looking to explore how music can frame theatrical conflict.

How to get the most out of it

  • Find the conversational rhythm beneath the melody. These are characters questioning one another, so treat repeated phrases as building argument rather than repetition.
  • Shape the dynamics around the text rather than symmetrically. Lines that press forward need different energy than those that pull back, keeping the song from settling into predictable phrasing.
  • Balance the accompaniment against your vocalist's comfort. The piano part is supportive but can easily overwhelm if not scaled to the voice in the room.

How to use it

This functions beautifully in a Broadway revue centered on contemporary musical theater, particularly alongside other songs that prioritize character over spectacle. It also serves well as an audition piece for programs emphasizing text and musical theater technique, or as a scene study tool for young performers learning how composers use melody to reveal emotion.
