Serviceable, Some great performances

See it if You want to see Into the Woods. It’s a fine production of it. The witch is FANTASTIC. The princes and stepsisters are hilarious.

Don't see it if The promise of the refugee camp concept is your driver. It’s actually a pretty traditional production other than ‘found’ props and costumes

Entertaining, Great singing, Disappointing

See it if you know and love the music, you will still enjoy this bare bones version. Some great voices, others less so, but overall enjoyable.

Don't see it if you want some odd scenic choices to have relevance. For some reason they had this out of place chain link fence, but never say why. Read more

Don't see it if you don't like fairy tales, musicals, or Sondheim.
