BWW Review: INTO THE WOODS at Off Broadway Papakura
by Monica Moore - Apr 14, 2019
As soon as you step into the gloomily lit theatre, the 'once upon a time' mystery of the fairy tale woods immediately enchants you. The blue gloomily lit scenery of the woods is so beautifully painted that it's as if you are really there. You are drawn into the story even before it unfolds. The 'magical' set is miraculous!
Superbly co-directed by Regan Crummer and Paulette Hadley, the young cast (aged 10-18) engages the audience immediately and captivates them until the end.
