Into the Woods at the Bridge Theatre

This witty and tuneful musical by the peerless Stephen Sondheim mashes up classic fairy tales and gives them an unexpected twist. It is fair to say that things don't come out quite how you expect....

This production at the Bridge Theatre by Tower Bridge has received excellent reviews and tickets are selling fast.

At least seven of us have booked for tonight (16 March), the availability of cheaper tickets being better on a Monday. Some of us are in A41-44 in Gallery 2 @ £49.50. 

Anyone is welcome to join us.

If anyone has booked for this who I am unaware of and would like to join the rest of us to eat beforehand, I have booked a table at Comptoir Libanais by London Bridge station for 17.45: indicate by a comment if you would like to join us.

N=8 came to the show, with one other, freshly returned from the colonies, joining us for dinner at Comptior Libanais. I think we all really enjoyed the show, performed with great enthusiasm (though occasionally somewhat gabbled diction: the curse of body microphones…), with its wit and profound messages coming thick and fast.

Be careful what you wish. Our desires can have unintended consequences. People make mistakes and you have to decide yourself if to forgive them or not. Wolves are dangerous but also a bit exciting. Princes may be charming but not sincere. Servitude can be a nightmare but the answer is not necessarily living in a palace. We solve problems better when we work together. Problems are often several people’s fault, but rather than finding someone to blame, find someone who can help you solve them.

No one is alone. Truly, no one is alone.

Be careful what you say: children will listen. Be careful what you dream: dreams are like children. They change and grow and turn into something you did not expect. Be careful when casting spells: they can last longer than you expect.

And then we all lived happily ever after. (I wish…)
