Lakeland Civic Theatre offers
a tepid ‘Into the Woods.’

INTO THE WOODS, which
is yet another of Stephen Sondheim’s creative and challenging shows, gets a
very credible performance at Lakeland Civic Theatre. A lighter and more playful first act would have helped make
the deep and thought-provoking second act more meaningful. As is, the production should please
those who like Sondheim’s works and appreciate the difficulty of staging one of
his creations.

Director Friedman has mounted this play before at Lakeland, in 2003, but this time it feels a bit static, and at times almost feels like a concert version of the show.
