BDN reviews UMaine production of ‘Into the Woods’
The Bangor Daily News reviewed the University of Maine School of Performing Arts’ production of the musical “Into the Woods.” With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, the musical premiered on Broadway in 1987. The story “upends the fairy tales’ promise that there always will be a happily-ever-after finale,” the article states. The cast “all should be called professionals, not students” based on the talent they exhibit in this show, and the set by Daniel Bilodeau and lighting by Scott Hough are “spectacular,” according to the article. Led by guest director Amiee Turner and music director Cynthia Sambrano, the production shows SPA’s commitment to keeping the performing arts lively for current and future generations of students, the article states. “Into the Woods” will run in Hauck Auditorium through March 10.
