BANGALOW Theatre Company is set to debut Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods at Byron Theatre on November 22, led by an all-female production team.<\/p>\n

This popular musical weaves classic fairy tales like Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk, delving into the complexities of life and human desires.<\/p>\n

Amy Skene, directing for BTC for the first time, brings over 20 years of performing arts experience to the show.<\/p>\n

“Sondheim’s work is layered and rich, and we’re embracing that to create a production that feels both familiar and surprising,” Skene said.<\/p>\n

Returning for her sixth role with BTC, Tia Nelson is Assistant Director. She was nominated for a Gold Palm Theatre Award for her role in RENT.<\/p>\n

Long-time BTC Musical Director Margaret Curtis, a nominee for past productions like Hair, will oversee the live band.<\/p>\n

Producer Bobbie Field is enthusiastic about the project.<\/p>\n

“Working on Into the Woods has been a thrilling challenge, and we are so proud of what we’ve achieved as a team,” Field said.<\/p>\n

“This production brings together a mix of fairy tale magic and deep, emotional storytelling that I think will resonate with everyone.”<\/p>\n

Co-producing with her is local author and performer Hollie Azzopardi.<\/p>\n

“It’s an honour to help bring this beautiful story to life, especially with such a talented group of women leading the way,” Azzopardi said.<\/p>\n

Choreographer Sher Manu, with 30 years of experience, promises a vibrant production. She won Best Choreographer for Hair last year.<\/p>\n

The show explores the unexpected consequences of pursuing dreams and the lessons learned through Sondheim’s witty lyrics.<\/p>\n

Performances will run from November 22 to 30. Tickets are available at bangalowtheatre.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
