Babes in the Wood is a 1964 Off-Broadway musical adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
[1] It opened on December 28, 1964, at the Orpheum Theatre and closed on February 7, 1965.
Ralph Beaumont provided choreography, and set design and lighting were done by Paul Morrison.
[3] The New York Times criticized the show, saying it "manages to rob his source of all enchantment", and although its music was enjoyable, the songs added nothing to the plot.
[5] The view of the musical as "pleasant but forgettable" seems to have been shared by other theater critics as well.
