Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into the Woods is a story about life and maturation in a world where ‘happily ever after’ isn’t so simple or even possible to attain. It’s a lesson that everyone learns as they grow up but Sondheim’s appropriation of fairytale characters such as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood turns a simple life lesson into an interesting examination of the values imbued in us in youth and how those morals and ideas are twisted, changed and sometimes altogether discarded as we grow. Director Rob Marshall takes us from ‘Once upon a time’ and all the way to ‘happily ever after’ and marches past into the strange, sometimes frightening unknowns of life.
