Margot's Musings

 On February 10th,  I saw INTO THE WOODS at the PARAMOUNT THEATRE! The music and lyrics were by STEPHEN SONDHEIM and the Book was by JAMES LAPINE. The show was directed by Jim Corti and Trent Stork. The music was directed and conducted by Kory Danielson, and the dancing was choreographed by Kasey Alfonso. The Scenic Designer was Jeffrey D.Kmiec.  I went with my brother Gunnar and my mom’s partner Dolph. It was opening night and the place was packed! The set was AMAZING and it looked so real!  There were very funny parts in the show for example there was a very funny part when the granny of little red riding hood was constantly stabbing the wolf!  The puppets were really well designed by JESSE MOONEY-BULLOCK.

My mom played Little red riding hood when she was in college...
