A stunning, fresh and innovative version of the classic Into The Woods musical. The 11 cast members did the job with no costumes or sets, just talent beyond excellent telling a complicated, deep and dark tale through the complicated and challenging music of Stephen Sondheim. The entire production was sheer genius.

We loved the show! The acting and singing were phenomenal, the music was beyond awesome. It was long but entertaining the whole time. We also ate at a great place beforehand called the Farmers Market which had very good food including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The veggie melt was unique and good, and my husband loved his grass fed burger. We went for a Sunday matinee which required masks, i suppose to make it an all-inclusive event which we were totally ok with. We found a parking spot half a block away from the theater since it was Sunday, total bonus! The drink selection during the intermission was extremely limited so had to drink something i dont like but I was just grateful to have something with caffeine before the 2nd half. No dress code but we still dressed up! We love the Guthrie!

Like "Chicago", this show can lose its sets/scenery and still be a grand entertainment, for doing so brings the focus to the clever fusion of the stories, the performances, and Sondheim’s music, lyrics, and rhymes. ITW has always been somewhat lost between being a “Fractured Fairy Tales” or “How to Parent” guide for aspiring moms and dads. After all these years, this production gets it right. Color-blind casting allows cultural flourishes and broadens its appeal to new audiences. Every cast member is perfect. Milky White finally gets a star turn and elicits lots of laughs and audience sympathy. The puppetry more than makes up for any lack of sets…certainly right up there with War Horse or Lion King. It’s the director who is to blame for the irresistible and almost illegal amount of fun, laughs, humor, pratfalls, and characterizations that cast members deliver flawlessly. Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Jack’s mother who’s “There’s no time to sit and dither. While her withers wither with her” diction is nailed on the head. This is the most fun and laughs you may have ever have in a theater. I’ll probably go back for a third dose before July 30. Don’t miss your first. It’s THAT good.

What an outstanding production! Superb acting, beautiful singing, a flawless orchestra seamlessly & sensitively supporting the actors on stage, a beautiful theatre with great seats & acoustics + EASY parking. I mainly attended to see a relative in the ensemble but what I saw was as high or higher a caliber of Musical Theatre than I’d seen anywhere! Bravo to all the cast, directors, conductors & designers who tirelessly worked to make it happen! J.H.

I missed this in NY and am glad I got to see it in Boston. The show is phenomenal - not a single weak link in the cast or performances. Agree that Milky White (and the giant's shoes, also the puppeteers) were exceptional, and also agree with another review that the set production is underwhelming--there are shows where it feels appropriate to go low key on the set and I'm not sure this is one of them--but it's fun to have the orchesetra on stage and it didn't take away from the performance. Loved it!

I went to the 1pm performance today and all I can say is 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
