Watch This announce cast and revised performance dates for Into the Woods

Following our earlier announcement that Watch This will be producing Into the Woods as their next Sondheim production, the company are very proud to announce their stellar cast line-up.

 

Cherine Peck (Witch), James Millar (Baker), Fiona Choi (Baker’s Wife), John O’May (Cinderella’s Father / Mysterious Man), Jackie Rees (Cinderella’s Stepmother / Granny / Giant), Nick Simpson-Deeks (Wolf / Cinderella’s Prince), Anthony Craig (Jack / Steward), Jasmine Vaughns (Cinderella), Lily Baulderstone (Little Red Ridinghood), Caitlyn Spears (Rapunzel / Florinda), Raphael Wong (Rapunzel’s Prince / Lucinda) Angela Lumicisi (Jack’s Mother / Cinderella’s Mother)

Now in their ninth year; and going from strength to strength, Watch This has built an admirable reputation for great quality work in this field. With rave reviews from audiences and critics alike, I have no doubt that Into the Woods will be their best production yet.

Sonya Suares, Artistic Director of the company will once again be teaming up with co-director Dean Drieberg again to deliver this theatrical delight.

Drieberg says,

Directing a show as well-loved as Into The Woods is an opportunity to dig deep into a familiar text and rediscover who these beloved characters really are. We are interested in exploring the darkness inherent in this piece and are thrilled to be staging it at the Meat Market, taking advantage of its depth and heritage features.” Suares agrees, “The woods are a perilous place. They need to feel a bit creepy.

Owing to the current health crisis, the company have pushed the production back to early 2021 with new performance dates confirmed from 26 February  – 13 March 2021 but tickets are still on sale and can be purchased by clicking here.
