Into the Woods Receives Excellent Reviews

An all-star cast makes this a ‘Woods’ to remember
by John Olson, Chicago Theater Beat

(...) Just as telling of the overall strength of this cast are the performances in supporting roles. Comic treats are offered by Katherine Condit, Caitlyn Glennon and Evelyn Finne as Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters Florinda and Lucinda (…) This array of performers who each have their moments to shine individually blend perfectly into a singing and dancing ensemble (…) in the full cast numbers that open and close each of the two acts. (…) the company’s short runs can make it possible for MTW to continue to attract the very best of Chicago’s stellar non-Equity talent pool. (...)

"Into the Woods"
by Alan Bresloff, Around the Town Chicago 

I have seen at least 18 productions of my favorite Sondheim work, “Into The Woods” and last night, I saw the latest, and one of the best, productions over in Evanston as produced by Music Theater Works. Director Rudy Hogenmiller has found some of the finest of the finest (as close to the Broadway originals as one might see on a local stage) talent to make this (…) a delight to experience! (…) One can see that this cast truly understands Sondheim as evidenced by the handling of songs such as  “Into The Woods” (…). Here is where I take my hat off to the entire ensemble. (…) Great casting! (...)
