Introducing...MILKY WHITE! (at least, version one) 🐄

Our incredible Props Designer Jason Martin-Hiner explains his process to begin the the creation of INTO THE WOODS' most famous cow:

"The creation of Milky White has been an exciting blend of inspiration, experimentation, and evolution. I drew initial inspiration from the puppet design used in the 2022 Broadway revival, while also adding my own interpretation to fit the world of this production. Using simple, everyday materials like wood, twine, and cardboard has helped shape a version of Milky White that reflects the cow’s worn and weathered condition."

In collaboration with puppeteer David Mendez, you'll see Milky's personality, movement, and heart brought to life onstage!
