“An enchanting journey through the Black Forest replete with romance, lots of laughs, and musical and lyrical ideas brazenly borrowed from Gilbert & Sullivan…filled with ever-surprising delights that will lift up your spirits.†(This Week in Show Business).
It’s the joyous Rudie-DeCarlo musical comedy, a hilarious, family-friendly reworking of the classic fairytale, featuring a sweetly independent Little Red (Serena Dolinsky), the discombobulated Huntsman Siegfried Spitznase (James Cooper), not one but three wayward Grandmamas (Betsy Albert, Christine Breihan and Cydne Moore – who do double duty as Little Red’s giggly girlfriends and not-so-giggly mama), and the debonair and oh so charming, not the least bit scary, Baron Wolfgang von Wolfgang, Junior (Garett Stevens) as the only “wolf†in sight. “Cheery and clever with a fuzzy feel-good feeling!†Backstage West. Anything but a Grimm fairy tale, audiences of all ages will love the playful and authentically designed costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, the singing woodland animals crafted by The Attic Room creature department, the lilting musical numbers, and the heartfelt romances that develop along the path to Grandmama’s house, all bringing the adventure to its deservedly happily-ever-after. “Evelyn Rudie and Chris DeCarlo have done it again with this magical fantasy.†(KPFK)
