INTO THE WOODS, WA
Fri, 6 June 2008, 05:04 pmyellow glass theatre have done it again. A superb production of this little seen musical. Cast is excellent, proving yet again that WA has a huge talent base. It would not be fair to single anyone out - they were all inspiring! I had not realised what a funny show it was! I loved the set and costumes - the Princes' "leather" ensemble was fabulous.
Special mention should go to Simon Holt (musical director) who did a wonderful job and to Chris Kabay (artistic director) who manages to bring out the best in all his cast.
Don't miss it! It is on until 14 June at Subiaco Theatre. Bookings through BOCS.

I thought this was a very good production and an excellent night's entertainment so I hope that it will be more fully supported than it was the night I went. From seeing Rent, I knew to expect quality music and I wasn't disappointed - it was beautifully played and sung throughout. The production injected so much humour, in addition to the clever lyrics and I loved the little details, like the princes' identical little 'dramatic' jumps each time they entered, which had the audience laughing before they even spoke. The faux-leather outfits were wonderful and I actually liked the fact that the 'wolf' outfit was minimal because it made the prince's behaviour later all the more sinister. Shai Yammanee showed his versatility and conveyed the 'wolfishness' through his body, very effectively I thought and he was well matched by Izaak Lim as the other prince, so those were my favourite scenes. But the whole cast was very good indeed and I'd recommend it.
