Once upon a time, an audience dreamt of a theatrical experience that would enchant, amaze and yet be thought provoking. Suddenly, KCMTS appeared and invited them to come INTO THE WOODS and be enchanted by the spell of this extraordinary, enchanting fairy-tale of a musical.

KCMTS� dazzling revival of Sondheim�s 1987 production is a deft reworking of classic fairy-tales, which exquisitely interweaves the stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood with the story of a Baker and his Wife wishing for a child.

But this is no pantomime.

This stylish production skilfully exposes the dark outcome of these stories beyond the �happy ever after.� It is a journey from sumptuous frivolity into chaos and despair as familiar characters begin to act in unfamiliar ways. The production is richly redolent of Grimm�s fairy tales � since all actions have their consequences.

As with Sondheim�s other masterpiece COMPANY, aching cello lines and translucent woodwind punctuate the action with aural ecstasy. The score includes some of Sondheim�s most hauntingly beautiful songs: "Children Will Listen," the telling lyrics of "Giants In The Sky," and the piece culminates in his most heartfelt music in the beautiful quartet "No One Is Alone."

KCMTS� charming production and witty design, which takes us from the grotesque to the glamorous in high style, reminds us that musicals, like fairy-tales, can appeal to everyone.

INTO THE WOODS is directed by Cara Rodway. Performed by Matt Robertson, Amy Payne, Ronald Crocker, Gaby Staniszewska, Cathryn Hopkins and cast.
