Review: Into The Woods

The Woods Via Sondheim (and a little Freud)

A musical here is a pleasure to watch and hear

by Chris Lane

Montreal’s newest theatre company scores a hit with their first production, performing the bitingly funny and engaging Into the Woods. The musical, by Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and James Lapine (book), is an original tale that plays on the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel.

First-Person: Kelly Herrmann on Into The Woods
