  • INTO the WOODS Stephen Sondheim (Music and Lyrics) and James Lapine (Book) Directed by Susi Damilano Music Director: Dave Dobrusky Choreography: Kimberly Richards
    Press Release For immediate release May 2014 [email protected] Download Hi Res photos here INTO THE WOODS Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and James Lapine (book) Directed by Susi Damilano Music Director: Dave Dobrusky Choreography: Kimberly Richards June 24th to September 6th Previews June 24 – June 27 at 8pm Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm Saturdays at 3pm and Sundays at 2pm (except 6/29) PRESS OPENING: Saturday, June 28th at 8pm San Francisco, CA (May 2014) – San Francisco Playhouse (Artistic Director Bill English & Producing Director Susi Damilano) concludes its provocative eleventh season with Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and James Lapine (book). What happens after “happily ever after?” Fractured fairy tales of a darker hue provide the context for Into the Woods, which deconstructs the Brothers Grimm by way of “The Twilight Zone.” While the faces and names are familiar, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack in the Beanstalk and company inhabit a sylvan neighborhood in which witches and bakers are next-door neighbors, handsome princes from once-parallel fables are competitive (and equally vain) brothers, and all the stories intersect through unexpected new plot twists. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s beloved musical intertwines classic fairytales with a contemporary edge to tell stories of wishes granted and “the price” paid. Susi Damilano (Director), Dave Dobrusky (Music Director) and Kimberly Richards (Choreographer) will team up to bring a fresh twist to this familiar tale by adding a time-travelling boy, Ian DeVaynes to the Bay Area cast that features: Louis Parnell* (Narrator), Safiya Fredericks* (Witch), El Beh (Baker’s Wife), Keith Pinto* (Baker), Tim Homsley* (Jack), Joan Mankin* (Jack’s Mom), Monique Hafen* (Cinderella), Becka Fink (Cinderella’s Stepmom), identical twins, Lily and Michelle Drexler (Cinderella’s Stepsisters), Noelani Neal (Rapunzel), Corinne Proctor (Red), Ryan McCrary and Jeffrey Adams (Princes/Wolves) and John Paul Gonzales (Steward).

But she doesn't see it that way. ''I was kind of born 40 years old,'' said the 21-year-old singer and actress who will be tackling her third musical in as many seasons when she opens on Tuesday in ''Time and Again'' at Stage II of the Manhattan Theater Club. The show, with a small-scale two-piano pit band, and a large ensemble directed by Susan H. Schulman, is based on a cult favorite, the 1970 Jack Finney novel of the same name -- a mystery involving time-travel to 1880's New York. Jack Viertel has written the book and Walter Edgar Kennon the music and lyrics. Mr. Kennon, who wrote the music for the show ''Herringbone,'' is a veteran of the BMI-Lehman Engel Musical Theater Workshop. ''I was always a little adult,'' Mr. Benanti went on, clutching a truly hefty bottle of water backstage during a recent rehearsal break. ''Even as a little kid, I just couldn't understand why I was surrounded by all these kids. I took things very seriously.'' But how does a ''kid'' today come to give her heart to Julie Andrews rather than, say, Britney Spears? ''I actually enjoy Britney Spears,'' Ms.
