A marvelous, minimalist ‘Into the Woods’ puts focus on Sondheim’s music

The Wolf (Gavin Creel) sizes up Little Red Riding Hood (Katy Geraghty) in “Into the Woods.” (Matthew Murphy for MurphyMade)

Sometimes, less is more.  

That saying applies perfectly to this simplified, beautifully sung and deeply felt production of “Into the Woods,” which began last May as a semi-staged concert with a starry cast, part of the tidal wave of affection for Stephen Sondheim’s work following his death in late 2021.
