Nice is different than good.

Stephen Sondheim

The show tells the interwoven stories of many classic fairy tale characters, but with a darker, more humanized twist. In this moment, Little Red realizes that even though the Wolf was nice to her, his genteel behavior was superficial. As many of us have experienced, her first brush with danger leaves her a little more wary and wise as she continues her journey through the woods.
