Urinetown star cast in unique production of a classic
Tuesday, June 1. 5:55am.

Sophie Carter, who has just completed a tenure as part of Melbourne Theatre Company's Urinetown, has been cast in a unique production of the classic musical Into The Woods.

A new production company, Music Theatre On Location, will perform the Tony Award winning musical outdoors at the Cumberland State Forest in Sydney later this year.

The October production will be directed by Rob Martin and is the first of many shows the company is planning to produce in unique venues.

Bookings are already open for the October show: 02 9645 1611

Congrats, Sophie! If only I could be in Sydney to see it

Edit: I just found MTOL's website, and checked the cast list. Sophie's the Witch. Go Sophie!

And as a taste of what else the company has in store,

Along with ‘Into the Woods’, we are planning to produce ‘Once On This Island’ on Shark Island, ‘West Side Story’ at Everleigh rail yards, ‘Pirates Of Penzance’ on Balmoral Beach, ‘The Secret Garden’ in Sydney’s Botanical Gardens and ‘Children Of Eden, again, in Cumberland State Forest - over the next two years, with the possibility of touring New Zealand and interstate Australia as well. We call this our ‘Salon Series’ of shows.

I like the sound of all this. It sounds as though it'd definitely be worth seeing. It's risky, but it just might work

Oh don't worry. I miss about as much as I catch

It was mentioned at broadwayaustralia.com, and I tend to check that site regularly.

And the second quote was from a press release on the MTOL site.

And hey, if I can beat the actors to info, I must be doing something right

Oh no, now I have to get to Sydney.

This looks like a damn good idea. And seeing that I'm obsessed with Into the Woods, (proof at my website: www.freewebs.com/in2woods), I'm going to have to see this.

Now how to manage it?.....

Hi Megan,

Megan... I guess that would make you Lucinda. I haven't memorized the cast list or anything, I have it bookmarked.

Congrats and all that.

Anyway, welcome to Wayakka. Stick around and keep us updated.
