Other soldiers enter with four native captives, including Aida, the daughter of the Nubian King. Aida snatches a sword to challenge the soldiers.

The show will be presented both on and off the stage -- in the round, essentially -- with the audience itself in the midst of the woods and on intimate terms with a wolf. And a Prince (or two). And giants and peasants and Little Red Riding Hood. And, of course, a witch.</p> <p>We all know what woods can be like. . .especially when they are conceived first by the Brothers Grimm and brought to life in story and song by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. "Into the Woods" won three Tony Awards when it premiered on Broadway in 1987, and five Drama Desk Awards -- including Best Musical. When it was revived on Broadway in 2002, it won the Tony for Best Musical Revival.<br />Why? It has a hauntingly beautiful score. Moments of wisdom and wistfulness and wicked humor. And, yes, revelations that remind us all of what it means to be parents and children, as well as the value of the legacies we leave behind when we make our inevitable exits. Sure, the sources are fairy tales. . .but the story offers a probing, realistic depcition of life's complexities. It is at once one of Broadway's most sophisticated and most playful musicals.</p> <p>Keep your eyes posted for detailed information about characters and auditions, as well as designer Milford Cushman's remarkable vision for the set -- the world he has designed -- and Andrea Wolga Freeman's extraordinary co</p> [richtext] => 1 [template] => 25 [menuindex] => 40 [searchable] => 1 [cacheable] => 1 [createdby] => 1 [createdon] => 1557947422 [editedby] => 3 [editedon] => 1559314998 [deleted] => 0 [deletedon] => 0 [deletedby] => 0 [publishedon] => 1184785560 [publishedby] => 1 [menutitle] => [donthit] => 0 [privateweb] => 0 [privatemgr] => 0 [content_dispo] => 0 [hidemenu] => 0 [class_key] => modDocument [context_key] => web [content_type] => 1 [uri] => 2007/into-the-woods [uri_override] => 1 [hide_children_in_tree] => 0 [show_in_tree] => 0 [properties] => [idx] => 2 [link] => ) Array ( [return] => chunks [id] => 116 [type] => document [contentType] => text/html [pagetitle] => Urinetown [longtitle] => Urinetown [description] => [alias] => urinetown [alias_visible] => 1 [link_attributes] => [published] => 1 [pub_date] => 0 [unpub_date] => 0 [parent] => 10 [isfolder] => 0 [introtext] => [content] => <p>&ldquo;And this year&rsquo;s award for the show with the most obnoxious title goes to ... <em>Urinetown</em> the Musical!&rdquo; Even the play itself makes fun of the title when Little Sally remarks to Officer Lockstock, &ldquo;Nothing like a bad title to kill a musical.&rdquo;</p> <p>The show opens with Office Lockstock and Little Sally talking about the water shortage, explaining that places of private amenity, i.e. toilets, have been banned in order to conserve water. What&rsquo;s left are places of public amenity which are heavily taxed by the UGC (Urine Good Company) with large amounts of graft going to Senator Fipp, Officer Lockstock and this trusty side kick Barrel (of course).</p> <p>Our hero Bobby Strong works for Penelope Pennywise who holds the public amenity franchise in the poorest, most disgusting part of town. Bobby is outraged when is father is arrested and taken to Urinetown for going and not paying the fee charged by Miss Pennywise. His outrage is temporarily challenged when he meets Hope, the daughter of UGC President, the resplendent Caldwell B. Cladwell. Hope urges Bobby to follow his heart and revolution ensues.</p> [richtext] => 1 [template] => 25 [menuindex] => 41 [searchable] => 1 [cacheable] => 1 [createdby] => 1 [createdon] => 1557948031 [editedby] => 3 [editedon] => 1559664612 [deleted] => 0 [deletedon] => 0 [deletedby] => 0 [publishedon] => 1187205240 [publishedby] => 1 [menutitle] => [donthit] => 0 [privateweb] => 0 [privatemgr] => 0 [content_dispo] => 0 [hidemenu] => 0 [class_key] => mgResource [context_key] => web [content_type] => 1 [uri] => 2007/urinetown [uri_override] => 1 [hide_children_in_tree] => 0 [show_in_tree] => 0 [properties] => Array ( [moregallery] => Array ( [source] => inherit [relative_url] => inherit [content_position] => inherit [crops] => inherit [custom_fields] => inherit ) ) [idx] => 3 [link] => ) Array ( [return] => chunks [id] => 117 [type] => document [contentType] => text/html [pagetitle] => Little Shop of Horrors [longtitle] => Little Shop of Horrors [description] => [alias] => little-shop-of-horrors [alias_visible] => 1 [link_attributes] => [published] => 1 [pub_date] => 0 [unpub_date] => 0 [parent] => 10 [isfolder] => 0 [introtext] => [content] => <p>Ten years ago, Little Shop of Horrors took Stowe Theatre Guild by storm.
