This ensemble pulls off an incredibly difficult show in the round very well. Milky White is a small role, but the attention paid to detail is amazing. The three piece orchestra sounds incredible. A couple of smaller roles steal the show, but the baker, his father, and wife are solid leads that demonstrate much pathos. I highly recommend this show.

This is a really fun show. The Witch was outstanding. What incredible vocals and acting chops. Very happy with the cast overall....Might even check out again before it closes.

This was my first time seeing this musical performed live. Saw the DVD back in college. What a great show overall! For an all volunteer cast, the talent was amazing. I loved the voices of The Bakers Wife, Cinderella's Prince, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. Oh, and the scene between the Baker and his dad. The show although wasn't without some faults...It was well worth it!

Great show with many notables. Specifically Red, Rapunzel, Rapunzel Prince, Step Mother, Jacks Mother, Cow, Steward, Cinderella Prince. Really had fun watching the show. In the round is great idea. It was Into The Woods as I have never seen it before and I loved every joyful moment.

I am still singing "into the woods" to myself - so many great cast performances but find myself loving the sincerity of the Baker's Wife and the edgy development of Little Red!

I'm not usually fond of theater in the round but this troupe pulled it off brilliantly. The simple yet efficient set lent itself to the imagination of the audience, who find themselves sitting in the wood. The cast, whether speaking or singing were easy to understanding, even with the top notch live music. It was hard to decide who most deserved my applause since even the smaller roles like the wolf, gold laying hen, or narrator, showed the same caliber of performance as the baker, his wife, and the witch. I was prepared to chuckle, but not laugh, cry, and enjoy the music for days after as I reminisced on favorite scenes.

I really enjoyed this production! Works so well in the round. The costumes, which apparently were designed specifically for this production (not rented), were amazing. Great change of look. The cast was superb. Standouts were The Baker, Little Red Riding Hood, and surprisingly The Mysterious Man. A role I usually don't care much for. Overall a great time at the theater.
