Once Upon a Time at Blumenthal Performing Arts …
A Fairy Tale for Music LoversQ&A with John Bell, music director of Into the WoodsOnce upon a time, Into the Woods traveled across the land from the City of Brotherly Love to the Queen City … On April 11, the traveling production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Tony®-winning musical, Into the Woods, will land at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center’s Belk Theater for a six-day run. Tickets are on sale now. Into the Woods tells the story of fairytale characters you know – like Little Red Ridinghood, the Wolf, Jack, Cinderella and more – in situations the Brothers Grimm never imagined. Each character is on a quest to find their own “happily ever after” … only to learn “ever afters” don’t always go the way we expected. An interesting aspect of Into the Woods, is that the orchestra appears on the stage amidst the actors, making its players characters in the story. To learn more about the magic of this touring revival, we spoke with music director John Bell, who has worked on several revivals, including Fiddler on the Roof and My Fair Lady, and has been with this production since its inception.
