This week, Monday By the Numbers draws data from column favorites “Alice — A Steampunk Concert Fantasy” and Kenny Davidsen’s bow-tie-palooza at Tuscany.

“Alice” returns to the stage and makes its aerial debut Tuesday night at Brooklyn Bowl in the Linq Promenade (doors 9, preshow 10, show at 11, $15 for Nevada residents, $30 for out-of-staters).

On Wednesday at 9 p.m., Davidsen resumes his Playlist series at the Copa Room, also home to “The Rat Pack Is Back.”

As Alice would say, follow us down the rabbit hole:

2: Lyra hoops used in “Alice’s” new production.

6: Aerial cast members in the show.

6: Preshow performers hired to open the evening.

5: Venues in which BBR has performed shows leading to the current version of “Alice.” (Boulevard Theater, now Tommy Wind Theater, when it was “A Blonde, a Brunette and a Redhead”; T Spot at Tuscany Suites; Sunset Station’s Club Madrid; Vinyl in the Hard Rock Hotel; and now Brooklyn Bowl.)

4: Total performances Tuesday night by “Alice” co-leads Anne Martinez and Ashley Fuller (Martinez opens in “50 Shades! The Parody” at Bally’s, then hits “Alice,” while Fuller is in “Jubilee,” also at Bally’s, before making it to “Alice.”)

2: Kelseys (co-director Ryan and Red Queen Lora) performing in the show.

4: Hosts for Davidsen’s “Girl Groups” show (Francesca Camus, Gret Menzies, Sandra Huntsman and Melissa Hoffman).

37: Singers scheduled to take part in “Girl Groups,” including, oddly enough, a few guys.

67: Years between oldest and most-recent songs to be performed.

40: Songs in the show.

$0: Cost of admission.

67: Bow ties owned by Davidsen.
