Carla Guevara Laforteza joins ‘Into the Woods’

Multi-awarded actress Carla Guevara Laforteza is the latest to join Theater Group Asia’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods, premiering in August at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.

Laforteza will be playing the multiple roles of Giant, Granny, and Snow White.

“I am up for the challenge! I’ve always enjoyed watching Into The Woods. I love the music, of course! It has a funny and clever way of weaving each fairy tale character into each other’s story,” she said.

Laforteza added that she is grateful to be able to do the show alongside Broadway star Lea Salonga.

“I’ve only done events and concerts with her, so to be able to experience the process of rehearsals and doing the entire run with her is quite amazing,” she added.

Into The Woods is based on James Lapine’s novel, who also directed the original Broadway run. The plot intertwines several fairy tale characters of the Brothers Grimm and dramatically portrays the impact of human choices and actions.

Helming Into The Woods is Tony Award-winning visionary Clint Ramos as its overall artistic and creative director, alongside co-producers John and Joanna Echauz, and S-PAT executive director Chris Mohnani.

Into The Woods is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theater International, New York, NU, USA. All authorized performance materials are supplied by MTI.
