“Be careful what you wish for” seems to be the ongoing theme in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brothers Grimm inspired musical Into the Woods.

Our fabulous FHODS Youth Section, previously bringing you the classic Bugsy Malone, are delighted to present the Broadway version of Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim.

The story follows the Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk.  When the Baker and his wife are visited by the neighbourhood witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse.

Also in the woods, we meet Little Red, who is trying to visit her grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and the Princes chasing after their loves.

By the end of Act I, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after, but in Act II, when Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must be made.

Recently made into a film by Disney, this Broadway version brings even more twists along the way, more songs and a lot more humour!

You won’t want to miss this classic musical, originally performed by a fantastic cast, including Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason, brought to life at The Tower Theatre, by our incredibly talented Youth Section.

FHODS is pleased to announce that the shop doors will soon open on a new production of Hobson’s Choice, the well-loved, classic northern comedy.

Henry Hobson runs a shoe business in Salford, Greater Manchester. A widower with three daughters, he is overbearing, controlling, and a drunk.

When his eldest daughter, Maggie – the real driving force behind the success of the business – announces her intentions to marry Willie Mossop, one of his most skilled employees, Hobson is astounded…

Originally set in 1880, Hobson’s Choice is a comic exploration of the changing status and expectations of women at a time when society was about to shift dramatically.

However, to present a fresh view of the play and make it more relevant to a modern audience, we are resetting to 1966, another period of significant social change, especially for women, which sowed the seeds of women’s lib and the feminist movement.  It was also the year of Bob Dylan playing at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, the BBC began broadcasting in colour, and when England won the World Cup.

And so, under such auspicious circumstances, our story will unfold…
