Review: South Coast Repertory Presents A Revamped INTO THE WOODS
by Michael Quintos - Oct 1, 2026
To celebrate the musical's 40th anniversary, South Coast Reportory recreates INTO THE WOODS with a decisively different approach, one that both entices and, at times, triggers an uneasy vibe (at first) that seems to have permeated out from the show's darker second half. Admittedly, something felt off while watching the show unfold in its new staging—which, in the end, proved to be the desired jolt it wanted from us all along. Selected as its first show for its new 2026-2027 season, this aesthetically-reinvisioned production continues extended performances through October 18, 2026.
Travelogue: The Musings of a Regional Theater Critic’s Trip to New York - Volume 2
by James Lindhorst - Sep 30, 2026

Now that some producers have moved their matinees to Thursday, it makes seven shows possible: Matinee and evening performances on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, with a single show on Friday evening. Planning is essential to know what shows have matinees on Thursday and what show are not dark on Sunday evenings.
