The costumes, scenery, sound effects, and technical effects are great in this play. I was amazed at some of the effects that were used--no stone was left unturned in this forest. In fact, the forest itself was spectacular.
Usually, there are more people working "behind the scenes" than onstage. This production is a good example of how many people it takes to make everything happen on-cue and without a hitch.
The orchestra, led by Musical Directors Jay Tumminello and Theo Vernon, add a lot of the dramatic sound effects to this musical besides playing the regular music.
I enjoyed the weaving of the old fairy tales with a new look at how the fairy tale characters might have really lived their lives.
The mix of fantasy and reality is delightful. Even if you weren't a big fan of fairy tales as a child, I think all the adults will love this production.
