We really like the Bridge Theatre. It's where we saw the wonderful gender-switching A Midsummer Night's Dream last year, and the space is welcoming and flexible.
So we went to see Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods at the Bridge with high hopes.
The sets were very good, and the cast were great (and the production has won several awards, not least Best Musical Revival at this year's Oliviers).
But... we were disappointed.
I think we found the music a little same-y, and the plot over long. It could have been trimmed.
It was definitely the piece itself, rather than the production.
This may all sound heretical.
But there you go.
