Into The Woods
29 July – 7 August 2011
Esplanade Theatre
Once Upon A Time, there lived a Baker and his Wife, who wished for a child, Jack wished to keep his pet cow, Cinderella wished to go to the King’s Festival, and Little Red Riding Hood was on her way to Grandmother’s house… ‘Into The Woods’ is a funny, moving and visually stunning story of fairy tale characters discovering that true happiness is hard to find. Is ‘Happy Ever After’ the end or is it just the beginning? As the characters journey in the woods driven by their deepest desires, they cheat, sabotage and charm one another to get ahead. But when life deals out hard lessons, they find comfort in friendship, even forming an alliance against a common enemy. ‘Into the Woods’ is an award-winning Broadway musical about growing up, parent-child relationships, marriage, morality and community. Profound in its simplicity and full of exciting, unexpected twists, it is a magical musical treat that will enchant the child and move the adult.

Reviews
“a smart, funny and sexy production, brimming with so much heart and talent … I emerged from the show feeling like Bobby – older, wiser and alive”
– Sexy take on single issues, The Straits Times Life!
“From director Hossan Leong’s sensitive hand in shaping the piece’s rambling structure cohesively (he also localized the setting) to George Chan’s crisp choreography to, of course, Sondheim’s complex word smithery and harmonies, Company ties the knot”
– Coming together nicely, TODAY
“Watching Company will strike a raw nerve in you … funny, touching and so damn depressing at the same time … this is a brave project that we should all definitely back”
– Company Struck A Raw Nerve, Cosmopolitan
“Dream’s greatest triumph with this production is in contextualising a Sondheim musical for a local audience, and opening our eyes and ears to the beauty and depth to what has usually been considered an esoteric and inaccessible piece of musical theatre”
– Company, Buttons in the Bread
“We do not say this often; if you could only watch one production this year, let it be ‘Company'”
– [Review], Poached Mag
“rest assured that the Sondheim’s work of art is not put to shame”
– To Be of Not To Be (Married), Urban Wire
