Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
The story of Florence Foster Jenkins is a mix of the bizarre and the inspirational. A New York socialite who was robbed of her status as a piano prodigy due to injuries to her hand, she went on to become a great supporter of the arts. However, she wasn’t content with just supporting them and decided to make steps into opera singing. Sadly, the only person unaware that she was awful, was herself, and she was kept ignorant of that right up until the moment she sang at Carnegie Hall.
Dark fairy tales are all the rage at the moment. With authors like Neil Gaiman proving popular and cinema adaptations of classic Disney fare like Snow White and Maleficient, it seems like the classic stories are back in vogue. Therefore, an adaptation of Steven Sondheim’s musical, Into the Woods, seemed like an inevitability. The musical tells the story of several classic fairy tale characters; Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel, but rather than ending the stories at the traditional time, we go beyond that and see what happens after the happily ever after. Sadly, it’s not quite as happy as you might suppose.
