Sabrina Carpenter to Star in New 'Alice in Wonderland' Musical, Produced by Grammy-Nominated Singer
In a bizarre twist of fate, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is trading her music career for a leading role on the silver screen in an upcoming "Alice in Wonderland"-inspired musical. The Montgomery County native will not only star but also produce the Universal Pictures project, marking her first major studio outing.
Carpenter's foray into theater comes as she basks in the glory of a strong showing on the Grammys ballot. The singer-songwriter has earned nominations in three of the award show's four major categories, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. Her seventh album "Man's Best Friend" is also vying for several awards.
Joining Carpenter on her journey down the rabbit hole is filmmaker Lorene Scafaria ("Hustlers") as writer and director. Marc Platt, the mastermind behind hit musicals like "Wicked" and "La La Land," is also at the helm of this Universal Pictures project.
While Carpenter has appeared in supporting roles in films such as "Tall Girl," "Horns," and "The Hate U Give," her starring role in this new musical marks a significant milestone in her career. The untitled movie will be a unique take on Lewis Carroll's classic children's book, bringing a fresh perspective to the beloved tale.
Carpenter's foray into acting comes as she continues to make waves in the music industry. With multiple Grammy nominations under her belt, it seems that this new project may just be the perfect blend of art and magic. Will Carpenter's star continue to shine bright on the big screen? Only time will tell.

She's got a hit album out right now and multiple Grammy nominations, so I guess it makes sense that she'd wanna try her hand at something new. But who knows if she'll be as good on screen as she is on stage? 
I'm DYING over this news!!! Sabrina Carpenter as Alice in Wonderland? Like, can't wait to see her slay the role 
! And producing it too? Mind blown 
She's already killing it in music and now she's taking on a new challenge. This musical is going to be EPIC 
I need more info about the plot and Lorene Scafaria's direction... what do you think, guys? 
. And with Lorene Scafaria and Marc Platt on board, you know it's gonna be some high-quality stuff 
). One thing's for sure: I'm gonna be keeping an eye on Sabrina Carpenter's star rise – it's been an absolute blast watching her music career take off 
.
, and now she's trading in her mic for a spotlight on the big screen 
. I think it's awesome that she's producing too - girl power, am I right? 
It's gonna be interesting to see how she brings this classic tale to life in a fresh way, but with Marc Platt at the helm (aka the mastermind behind 'Wicked' and 'La La Land'), I'm sure it'll be magical 
. Bring on this wild ride down the rabbit hole! 
! She's going full-on drama queen 
and producing a musical like it's nobody's business 
And Lorene Scafaria directing? "Hustlers" was fire 
! Can't wait to see Sabrina Carpenter bring the house down 
!
can you even imagine Sabrina singing in a musical set in Wonderland? 
. Lorene Scafaria is a genius filmmaker and I love how Marc Platt is involved too, they're gonna bring some serious magic to this project 
... I mean, who thought Sabrina Carpenter was ready for the big leagues? She's still got that teen pop vibe going on and this musical thing is just gonna be another cash-grab to pad her bank account 
. And what's with Lorene Scafaria directing it? Hasn't she been out of her depth since "Hustlers"? This whole thing smells like a messy production 
...
The fact that it's gonna be a unique take on the classic story is so exciting! 
I'm low-key excited for this project tho, i've heard her album is fire! it'd be dope to see her bring this new take on alice to life 
. I love how Marc Platt is behind this project, his skills with musicals are on point 
. And Lorene Scafaria bringing her directorial magic to the table? Yaaas, I'm all about that fresh perspective 
- her music! Still, it'll be interesting to see how this goes down. Maybe she'll bring some fresh vibes to the classic tale? Either way, can't wait for more updates! 
Marc Platt producing it too? Legendary! I'm totally hyped for this and can't wait to see Sabrina slay the stage (and screen!) 
what do you think about Sabrina Carpenter going into acting tho? i mean, she's got the vocals for it but can she pull off the drama queen vibe from those musicals like Les Mis or Phantom?
