I have seen a lot of productions of “Into the Woods “ from amateur school productions to professional theatre productions and I have to say this version of “Hello Little Girl “ disturbs me and while I know “Hello Little Girl “ does have sexual undertones but they’re under the radar and it’s coming only from the Wolf, Red Riding Hood is completely oblivious to the wolf’s advances .
im pretty sure its meant to teach people about pedophiles or something (the original version). a lot of children type stories or whatever like little read riding hood ect have creepy hidden meanings
This is my favourite version of the wolf ever, although I'm not a fan of little red here (I mean I'm her basically but still...) I also LOVE the coat the wolf is wearing
I like how this version of little Red Riding Hood is like a naive but extremely horny college student - so, a college student - whose away from home from the first time, and has no idea how to flirt or conduct an adult relationship, so naturally she falls for the first dude in a cool leather jacket she sees doing pullups, and wants to fight the Catholic Guilt by doing Things with him.. Not that I would know anything about that... But it's definitely interesting to see her be kind of tempted by the wolf, as opposed to being his unaware prey. It fits with the story's overall theme about coming of age, and how the process of maturing is never really finished - you're never too old to be made to feel like a giggling idiot.
Excuse you? ive seen this whole production of Into the woods, and this actor for little red ridinghood was absolutely incredible. I can understand if you dont like the actor, but because of her weight? seriously? "big red ridinghood"? what is wrong with you?!?! Her acting was better then most of the actors ive ever seen playing little red. including me. Her singing was beautiful as well. This whole show was filled with amazing actors, and yet you judge one because of how much she weighs? Really shows what kind of a person you are. Maybe next time, keep your thoughts to yourself, because nobody wanted to hear it.
You may be right that they are judging her based on her weight, but I think it’s because this red riding hood is much older than the character is usually play. This interpretation has her more like a college students age, rather than a young child.
Red is never played by a literal child, though. Except maybe in the movie version. The Wolf is supposed to also represent a pedophile, and the sexual undertones are why she's always played by an adult. So I don't know how why you're expecting a kid unless, y'know, you're a pedophile just looking for material.
@@alexv.1569 They were featured in the 2002 revival, which had a version of this number that had two wolves(who are both played by the actors who would later on play Cinderella and Rapunzel’s princes, to emphasize how they BOTH have insatiable appetites for the flesh). While the first wolf is singing about eating Little Red, the second wolf comes on stage halfway trying to entice the Three Little Pigs. They sing the same melody to this one song, with the latter singing new lyrics directed at the pigs. (This was something that was originally in the script for the early San Diego production of this show, but was cut afterwards, and then was restored by director/playwright James Lapine for the revival(which he directed).) I guess having the three little pigs here is meant to emphasize the varying degrees the Little Boy, who takes the role of the narrator in this production, intends to mashup EVREY Grimm Brothers fairytale he remembers, even when it’s not that relevant to the story overall. I mean, if/when you were told Little Red Riding hood and the Three Little Pigs(the sanitized versions, perhaps) as a child(not you personally if that wasn’t the case, but in general for anyone reading this), wasn’t there a point when you wondered if the wolf in both stories were actually exact the same character(in that, perhaps, Little Red takes place after the Wolf failed to knock down the third pig’s brick house) (Quick description, for those curious about this production: The show begins with the boy running away from home into these very woods(the set of this whole show), after a supposed argument between his parents(with echoes of presumably the father shouting “Get out! I want you to get out of here!” And the mother shouting back “I hate you!” being heard as the boy surveys the area). As he gets familiar with the surroundings, he starts telling to himself all the stories his father has told him in his own mashup fashion(the entire show, basically). After the witch throws him to the Giant in act 2, he isn’t seen again until after the remaining characters slay the giant. As the ghost of the Baker’s Wife sings her reprise of No One is Alone to the Baker, he quickly go back stage, and the actor for the Baker comes back on in modern day clothes and a flashlight calling out for the boy, revealing himself to be the boy’s father(and whom his son modeled the Baker after). The son comes out unharmed and embraces his father, while The Baker’s Wife continues her reprise to the father, which makes the father tell his son “once upon a time….”, and during the Witch singing “Children Will Listen” we see the son entertaining his father with how he interpreted all the stories he’s been told. As they prepare to leave, while the rest of the characters once again sing “Into the Woods and out of the woods, and happily ever after”, the boys then rushes back upstage and sings “I wish”, and the show ends.)
