By the end of the show, Red has been eaten, rescued, and is now wearing a wolf skin coat. That’s a Friday night that took a very dark turn. Her final song, “No One Is Alone,” is the ultimate reminder that we’re all just winging it. Nobody has a perfect map. We all stumble into metaphorical woods, pick metaphorical flowers, and get eaten by metaphorical wolves.
So next time you’re standing in the grocery aisle, arguing with yourself about whether to buy the fancy cheese or the cheap one, just think of Little Red. She’s out there, somewhere, dodging predators and looking fabulous in a red cape. Be brave. Be careful. And always finish your walk. Or at least bring a snack. You never know who’s waiting in the woods.
