"
Into the Woods"
(a co-production with Mendocino College, to be performed
at Mendocino College's Center Theater)
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by James Lapine;
Directed by Rick Allan;
Musical Director Les Pfutzenreuter
Fractured fairy tales of a darker hue provide the remarkable
context for Into the Woods. While the faces and names are
familiar, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood,
and company inhabit a sylvan neighborhood in which witches
and bakers are next-door neighbors, handsome princes from
once-parallel fables are competitive (and equally vain)
brothers, and all the stories intersect through unexpected
plot twists.
Stephen Sondheim's Tony-winning score favors intricate
ensemble numbers that present the characters' divergent,
then overlapping fears and desires. Delightful and deeply
satisfying.
