Into the Woods takes the stories of the Brothers Grimm and gives them a dark and humorous twist.  The popular tales of Red Riding Hood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Cinderella and Rapunzel are interwoven with that of the Baker and his Wife and their quest to have a child.  However this re-telling goes beyond ‘happily ever after’ as the familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are questioned and revisited.

2010 marks Stephen Sondheim's 80th Birthday.

As the estimated running time for this production is 2hours 45minutes, Into the Woods is not recommended for younger children.

Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine.

Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York.
