Photo Flash: INTO THE WOODS at Beef and Boards
By: A.A. Cristi Oct. 06, 2016
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre is presenting its premiere production of Stephen Sondheim's enchanting musical, Into the Woods, now on stage through Nov. 20. The Brothers Grimm hit the stage in this epic fairy tale about wishes, family and the choices we make.
The story follows a Baker (Don Farrell) and his wife (Meaghan Sands), who wish to have a child; Cinderella (Amanda Downey), who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack (Danny Kingston), who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break it. They venture into the woods where they meet Cinderella and Jack, who are each on their own quests. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
Also featured in this production are Sarah Hund as the Witch, Jaddy Ciucci as Little Red Ridinghood, Timothy Ford as the Wolf, Gabrielle Harker as Rapunzel, Mickey Rafalski as Rapunzel's Prince Suzanne Stark as Jack's Mother, James Anthony as the Narrator, Grace Sell as Cinderella's Stepmother, Christine Zavakos and Lauren Morgan as Cinderella's stepsisters Florinda and Lucinda, respectively, and A.J. Morrison as the Steward.
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. Originally opening on Broadway in 1987, Into the Woods was brought to the big screen by Disney in 2014, earning three Oscar nominations and starring Meryl Streep as the Witch, James Corden as the Baker, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, Emily Blunt as the Baker's Wife, and Anna Kendrick as Cinderella.
