Into The Hoods

Into The Hoods at Novello Theatre

Why see Into The Hoods?

Stephen Sondheim's classic musical incorporating Grimm's fairytale figures gets a gritty, urban makeover by London-based hip hop dance troupe ZooNation. This energetic show puts a humourous and modern spin on Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's darkly humorous musical and sets it to a soundtrack of music by artists Gorillaz, Basement Jaxx, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Black Eyes Peas and The Chemical Brothers.

A must for music and dance fans! The show starred Britain?s Got Talent winner George Sampson for a limited time as one of the two lead children on a mission on the 'hood.

WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT?

We follow two children who are lost in a dodgy estate where a wicked landlord befriends them after they have played truant from school. They are offered a room in his tenement block on the condition they work for him. The reluctant children embark on their mission, which is to retrieve a set of of highly prized items that include gold Adidas trainers, a bright red hoodie, the finest quality long weave in the city and a white iPod.

Their quest leads them to the flats occupied by Spinderella where they meet the eccentric characters who possess the items; Lil Red, Rap-on-Zel and Jaxx. Each character has a story of their own to tell, which they perform through hip hop dancing.

I loved it!!!!!

I loved it so much ! The music was thrilling, the plot line was funny, and the dancing was mind blowing!We all thought that the characters were well played and the audience thourougly enjoyed it as everyone including us went home with a smile and a spring in their step. I went with my sister and my mother and we sat quite far away from the stage but had an amazing veiw (though someones head was in my way :) ). The whole show was amazingly brilliant and the staff were extremely nice and helpfull. If you want to see a show with anyone you know.. DO IT!!!!
