Reviews of “Into the Woods”
“Dare To Go INTO THE WOODS at the Wilmington Drama League!”
by Lila Achuff – Stage Magazine
What do a cow, a cape, hair and a slipper have in common? A Stephen Sondheim fairy-tale musical, of course! Now put together the familiar stories of “Cinderella”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Rapunzel” and “Jack and the Beanstalk”. Now what? You got it! We have one whimsically clever, yet sophisticated, story wherein all these characters, plus a few more, interact with each other to weave a tale of fiction sprinkled with shavings of reality and lots of comedy dust. There’s enough of the latter to keep everyone laughing.

Going Into the Woods at the Wilmington Drama League
by Charles “Ebbie” Alfree III – Delaware Arts Info
Director Chris Turner’s delightful production boasts wonderful performances by the ensemble cast. Ed Emmi gives a charismatic performance as the Narrator of the show. Patrick Ruegsegger and Victoria Healy enthrall as the desperate baker and his wife. They’re great timing and superb voices are perfect for the roles. Zack Langrehr and Rebecca Gallatin are splendid as Jack and his mother. Both actors exquisitely bring the mother/son relationship to life and delicately handle the woes their characters’ must face. Christy Watt as the sassy Little Red Riding Hood and Shelli Haynes Ezold as the evil Witch give devilishly FUN performances. Both women bring out their inner-divas and command attention. Ms. Haynes Ezold rendition of “Children Will Listen” in the finale is absolutely gorgeous.
