“I went into Into the Woods assuming I knew exactly what I’d get, same as it ever was. To quote another Sondheim lyric, “happily, I was mistaken.” Director Scott Weinstein’s production wisely leans into the eccentric, sometimes surreal, nature of these characters, and steps away from many of the decisions bookwriter and original director James Lapine made so standard in the original production.””

“Pittsburgh CLO does it right.

Fourteen years after a celebrated CLO production of Into the Woods, the company has added to its storied history of showcasing this magical, moving, funny beast of musical, with an adorable cow and two charming princes among the highlights in a cornucopia of talent and stagecraft... Bringing this Into the Woods into focus and serving a large cast, each with integral roles, is director Scott Weinstein.”
