"Going into the woods can evoke scary thoughts of wild animals and creepy people, but not so for the magical forest displayed in SF Playhouse's stunning production of Into the Woods. Beautifully designed by Heather Kenyon, these woods feature lush trees and foliage with one tall tree rotating to become Rapunzel's tower. Bill English cleverly directs his impressive cast with just the right amount of sarcasm, humor and tender moments. His slightly over-the-top look at storybook characters gone awry"
"Alison Ewing takes the Witch to new heights with her fine acting, comedic flair and stunning voice, while Maureen McVerry utilizes her comedic powers to create a funny, sweet Milky White the cow with only her facial expressions and body language. Jillian A. Smith (Cinderella), Samantha Rich (Rapunzel/Cinderella's Mother) and Olivia Hellman (Little Red Riding Hood) also impress with their beautiful voices. Trevor March (Cinderella's Prince/Wolf #1)"
