Town Hall Theatre Main Street in Stowe.
Into The Woods
And an enchanting forest it will be. The show will be presented both on and
off the stage -- in the round, essentially -- with the audience itself in
the midst of the woods and on intimate terms with a wolf. And a Prince (or
two). And giants and peasants and Little Red Riding Hood. And, of course,
a witch.
We all know what woods can be like. . .especially when they are conceived
first by the Brothers Grimm and brought to life in story and song by Stephen
Sondheim and James Lapine. "Into the Woods" won three Tony Awards
when it premiered on Broadway in 1987, and five Drama Desk Awards -- including
Best Musical. When it was revived on Broadway in 2002, it won the Tony for
Best Musical Revival.
Why? It has a hauntingly beautiful score. Moments of wisdom and wistfulness
and wicked humor. And, yes, revelations that remind us all of what it means
to be parents and children, as well as the value of the legacies we leave
behind when we make our inevitable exits. Sure, the sources are fairy tales.
. .but the story offers a probing, realistic depcition of life's complexities.
It is at once one of Broadway's most sophisticated and most playful musicals.

as well as designer Milford Cushman's remarkable vision for the set -- the
world he has designed -- and Andrea Wolga Freeman's extraordinary costumes.
