Once Upon A Time…
In this episode of Settling Scores, Lenny, Forrest, and Stephanie discuss Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s fractured fairytale mashup, Into the Woods. Classic stories like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Beanstalk are all featured in this surprisingly dark and twisty musical, with a bodycount rivaled only by Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.
Is this his funniest score? Can any of the new cast albums stand up to the original? Do community theaters program the show too often?
Join us as we wade into the weeds to debate these topics and more, in our episode covering Into the Woods.
And join us over on our Facebook and Instagram pages to tell us what you think!
