Posted by Andy in : Novello, intothehoods , trackbackInto The Hoods by ZooNation is an urban dance fairytale, running at the Novello theatre until at least 30 August 2008
“A fabulous fusion of fairytales, funky tunes and wicked dance moves by ZooNation. From Sadler’s Wells, the show has been a smash hit at two Edinburgh fringe festivals.
The evening also features Rapper and DJ MR Gee as heard on The Russel Brand Show on BBC Radio 2.”
ZooNation is a street dance company specialising in hip-hop, breakdancing and street dance and the name of the show is derived from Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into The Woods, with ‘hood being the vernacular for Neighbourhood.
The story is set in Ruff Endz Estate with a cast of characters including:
* Spinderella the DJ
* Prince Wolf owner of the Big Teeth Records label
* Lil Red a singer
* Giant the drug-dealing pimp
* Fairy Gee who is Spinderella’s fairy godmother.
Music is by an assortment of urban artists including Gorillaz, Basement Jaxx, Stevie Wonder and Kanye West which contributes to making Into the Hoods an uplifting evening of quality modern dance entertainment which celebrates urban roots culture.
Into the hoods honestly was the best thing ive ever seen my intier life!!..
Wether you like dance or not, you would have still loved it. its a shame that its not in theatre anymore but i would definantly go and watch it again if it was!! Its definantly worth the money, and the dancers were just AMAZING!!! I went when george sampson was init and that was even better. I wish i could watch it again, on telly or somthing. If only.
