What happens after Happily Ever After, after all? In Sondheim and Lapine’s beloved musical retelling of the Grimm classics, a parade of familiar folktale figures find their way “Into the Woods” and try to get home before dark—under the guidance of Mark Lamos, who dazzled us with A Little Night Music in 2008.
FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Into the Woods
Jordan Fein's dark and delicious production is a wonder to behold
10 / 10
Tom Scutt's design is stunning; a black backdrop opens to reveal the lush and magical woods behind, where dappled light dances through the trees. This is starkly contrasted by the snapped tree trunks and dark corners after the unseen Giant's intervention. Scutt's costumes are also a wonder, medieval design with modern colours and textures-except the Narrator (played by a thoughtful Michael Gould), who is dressed like an anonymous middle manager at a conference.
This spellbinding production has everything you could wish for and more
10 / 10
Aideen Malone supplies inarguably the year’s best lighting design. Huge shafts of expressive light come flooding through the trees to completely change the atmosphere and suggest an otherworldly presence. But then Fein’s production is packed with unforgettable painterly visuals, such as Rapunzel posed in her tower like the Virgin Mary in a stained-glass window. It has mischievous fun too: Jack’s cow is an adorable open-mouthed puppet, while the princes have 80s tennis player-esque bouffant hair and headbands, and comically large codpieces.
