Having achieved immense popularity for her wide-ranging voice as top star of the Takarazuka Revue Company's Snow Troupe, Futo Nozomi is now putting her talents to the test in the award-winning musical "Into the Woods."
The musical tells the story of a baker and his wife who, unable to have a child because of a family curse, head into the woods to find items needed to lift the curse. There they meet various characters from famous fairy tales.
Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack from "Jack and the Beanstalk," Rapunzel -- a virtual who's who from the world of fairy tales show up in the forest, each harboring a wish that intertwine with the others. Even though the word "wish" has a nice ring to it, in one way it exposes the egoism of the characters, and reveals another side of the fairy tales.
