What happens after happily ever after? Stephen Sondheim’s bewitchingly witty fairytale mashup actually “goes there” through a clever convolution of characters from classic Brother’s Grimm. Deeply touching one moment and laugh-out-loud funny the next, this tale follows Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Jack and the Beanstalk from a true fairytale beginning in Act I, to a not so classic and rather irreverent Act II. With a little torque of their own, The Pennington Players will charm audiences of all ages with this timeless yet relevant piece that is a rare modern classic.
Recommended for ages 13 and up.
