Into The Woods
The musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. The main characters are taken from “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, “Rapunzel”, “Cinderella”, and several others. The musical is tied together by a story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family (the original beginning of the Grimm Brothers’ “Rapunzel”), their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and encounters with other storybook characters during their journey.
Reviews for Into The Woods
Into The Woods
Academy of Performing Arts
The set design is the first thing you notice when stepping into the arena at the Academy of Performing Arts. Nothing is behind a drape. A somber white moon is centered, bracketed by a tuft of spindly trees that appear as if they came straight from the dreams of Hans Christian Andersen. Further stage right is a large stone tower with a wooden window. Beyond that, atop a flight of stairs, is a nook for the narrator. Stage left, high atop a platform, is the land of the giants, awash with vines and trees and seemingly insignificant until Jack literally climbs down from it during “Giants in the Sky” in the middle of Act One. The arena, the circular round in the middle of the theater seating, is coated with leaves and stone, providing a link between the audience and the players. From Cinderella’s birds that would venture down from the ceiling to characters observing the action from behind a tree, the design of the set pairs perfectly with the room and the narrative, crafting that type of storybook woods anyone would imagine in a story like this one.
