Not for children

I remember the lovely original production of the fairy tale. My daughter loved it as a child. It was her most favorite music. Now I bought tickets again not realizing the production had changed to the current one. Circumstances prevented my(now grown) daughter to join me at the performance. - How relieved I was at that. She would have been as disappointed as I was! The staging is nightmarish and ugly with sexual overtones. What happened to the naive fairytale? It may have been a Grimm fairytale, but Brothers Grimm were never as grim as this production!
