Singer, film and television actor, and sought-after thespian Mark Bautista is the latest to join the stellar cast of Theatre Group Asia (TGA)’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods as Rapunzel’s Prince. Into The Woods is coming this August at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater (S-PAT).
Bautista smiles, “I’ve never played the role of a prince before, so this is going to be exciting for me. Falling in love with a princess is quite interesting as well. It’s a musical with so many intriguing characters and loads of references and elements in the story.” On tackling Sondheim’s masterful music, he adds, “Also, the fact that this is going to be my first Sondheim musical makes me feel more excited than ever to get involved with such a special material.”
