Rehearsals have begun for the major musical at Southwest Playhouse Inc.! Into the Woods is cast and the players are working very hard on the music and will soon begin work on blocking the show. As told by the Narrator, the show is a twist on many of your childhood fairytale favorites. This is the story of the "ever after" after "happily ever after."
As in real life, the story line by James Lapine conveys how we all live with our own choices and their consequences. It is filled with fun and frivolity, at times poignant precious moments and fantastic phenomenal musical numbers! The voices in the show are exceptional and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics will forever resound in your memory. Makeup designs are already being applied, the set is in process of being built and costumes are being considered. Director Julie Barnett can hardly contain herself at the prospects of such a wonderful show! This production will prove to be one of the most ambitious productions that SWPH has taken on. The company is up for the challenge and will be sure to delight audience members!
