INTO THE WOODS, WA

Hi all, Here's my non bias general opinion of the show; Now I'm not going to attack this show because this isn’t Broadway, and of course its not going to be better (this is Perth people, there are budgets) but this is what I got from it. Music/sound; Flawless, without a doubt this highly difficult score was reproduced as it should have been! Sound quality for the giant’s voice was a little loud at times though. Lighting; Dynamic, dramatic and it set the mood perfectly, I actually felt as if I too was in the woods. It segregated each section of the set and really drew our attention to where all the action was taking part the only down part on the lighting was that it was sometimes inconsistent with the witches spell casting (which used lighting every time). Costuming; For most characters their costuming was spot on. I thought the wolf could have used a shirt or something more significant that would make him appear to be more wolf like other than pointy ears. Cinderella's stepmother and step sisters were perfectly dressed in their elegant yet over the top attire u'd expect. The witches first act costume was outstanding in my opinion full of colour and array of textures, her wig and makeup also suited the part. Everyone else was fitted accordingly, except I would have thought that jacks pants would have changed during the second act (won’t reveal why). Set; This was really well designed, throughout the show the set stayed the same but it always seemed to be changing (this is where the lighting helped). It was dark and mysterious but did on some occasion get boring... Performers; As a whole the cast were pretty darn good! I do have an inkling though that some people had/have colds or weren't generally strong singers, each character was strong and well constructed though, and when you consider the amount of talent that is required to pull of each part every1 did great. As a whole I would definitely recommend seeing Yellow glass’s "Into the Woods". The ticket prices were a lil on the expensive side in my opinion but It was definitely a great night out and it was a very entertaining show. MoonPower!
